A pale curvilinear cropmark approximately 5 metres wide is visible on a single photograph from 1946. The cropmark is parallel to extant field boundaries of medieval pattern, and is interpreted as the spread remains of a medieval field boundary bank. The feature is not visible on any later photographs, but the aerial photographic coverage of this field is poor throughout the 1950s to 1980s, so this interpretation is necessarily tentative.
