A number of dark linear cropmarks are visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984 and 1989. Some of these correspond to the location of field boundaries depicted on the Tithe map and removed since, with the exception of some more substantial marks, circa 2 metres in width. These are rectilinear in form, and circa 20 metres across, consistent with an interpretation as having formed over the north-west side of a later prehistoric or Roman period enclosure ditch. A small dark mark up to 5 metres in extent could have formed over an internal archaeological feature.
Some of the aerial photographs consulted are copies of DAPs held by the Historic England Archive. One has been recorded here as an additional separate source because there is a possibility that the print may have been processed differently. This would potentially result in an image on which archaeological features show slightly differently.
