A pale linear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled bank circa 2.5m wide and east to west aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969. The cropmark does not correspond with any linear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps, but is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern, which is characterised as Barton fields. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmark is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
