A dark curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a buried ditch, circa 2m wide and north to south aligned, is visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984. The cropmark does not correspond with any curvilinear 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 medieval enclosures based on strip fields. The cropmark is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of potential medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmark intersects the northeast corner of a possible late prehistoric or Roman rectilinear enclosure (MDV28869), also visible on aerial photographs of 1984.
