Summary
A curvilinear cropmark which has possibly formed over the levelled bank of a relict medieval or post-medieval field boundary is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010 and 2017. The possible field boundary had likely passed out of use by the mid-19th century.

A curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having possibly formed over a levelled bank circa 4m wide and northeast to southwest aligned, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010 and 2017. 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 medieval or post-medieval date which had passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
