Two parallel dark linear cropmarks, each circa 6 metres wide and covering 20 metres in total width, are visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018. Their width suggests that they formed over substantial perhaps geological, features. However they fit into the surrounding field system as depicted on the Tithe map, and may have been a continuation of a field boundary on the same alignment immediately to the east. No boundary is depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, and any boundary here would presumably have gone out of use by the mid-19th century.
