Pale linear and curvilinear cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled banks, circa 4m wide and north to south and northeast to southwest aligned, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 1999. The cropmarks partly correspond with field boundaries shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although those to the north and south are not shown 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 field boundaries of medieval or post-medieval date which had partly fallen out of use by the mid-19th century.
