Two parallel and linear dark cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 4m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the late 19th century Ordnance Survey map, or on later available historic maps. They are interpreted as a possible relict double-ditched medieval or post-medieval field boundary which had passed out of use by the late 19th century. Some caution, should, however, be exercised and it is also possible the cropmarks are of geological origin.
