Dark linear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 2.5m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks do not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but are in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as possible relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century or could perhaps be associated with the late prehistoric or Roman remains recorded in the immediate area.
