Dark cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over a buried curvilinear ditch, are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984. The cropmarks do not correspond with any curvilinear features shown on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The curvilinear ditch is of largely uncertain origin, although could represent a field boundary associated with one of two late prehistoric or Roman enclosures recorded to the east (MDV28870) and west (MDV28869), or could be of later, medieval or post-medieval date, having passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
