Summary

A pale curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled bank circa 5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 1999. 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 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. Some degree of caution should, however, be exercised as it is also possible the cropmark is of agricultural origin.
