Dark and pale curvilinear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010 and 2018. The L-shaped cropmark to the northeast partly corresponds with a field boundary shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although the remaining cropmarks do don’t correspond with any such features on this map, or on later available historic maps. The surrounding historic field pattern is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as relict medieval or post-medieval field boundaries which had mostly passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
