A pale curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled bank circa 3.5m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951. The cropmark does not correspond with any curvilinear features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, although it does tie-in with a prominent kink in an adjacent field boundary shown on this map to the northeast. The cropmark is in keeping with the surrounding historic field pattern which is characterised as medieval enclosures based on strip fields and it is therefore interpreted as a relict field boundary of medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century. The cropmark is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
