A curvilinear cropmark of a ditch circa 2-3m wide and 110m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1994 crossing the east-facing slope south of Weston Farm. The visible feature does not correspond with any field boundary depicted on the 19th century maps available to the survey but is in keeping with the character of the surrounding medieval field pattern. The southern end of the visible feature is possibly aligned on an extent field boundary.
The ditch is interpreted as the remains of a field boundary of probable medieval origin, probably a continuation of the boundary to the south, that was therefore removed by circa 1840.
A smaller curvilinear cropmark of a ditch visible circa 90m to the north-west is recorded separately.
