Dark narrow cropmarks, interpreted as having formed oved buried ditches circa 2m wide and northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010. The cropmarks do not correspond with any 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The cropmarks are therefore interpreted as relict field boundaries of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. Other cropmarks visible in this location in 2010 correspond with field boundaries shown on historic maps and so have not been transcribed.
