A linear dark cropmark, approximately a metre wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in July 2018. It could have formed over a post-medieval field boundary, and cropmarks corresponding to removed boundaries depicted on the Tithe map are visible in this field. However it is less well-defined and not quite on the same alignment, and may indicate an earlier enclosure.
