A pale curvilinear cropmark is visible on a single aerial photograph from 1999. It is between 4 and 5 metres in width and may have formed over a relict or levelled field boundary bank. No field boundaries are depicted in this location on the Tithe map of 1844 and the cropmark does not easily fit into the mid nineteenth century field pattern, so may significantly predate 1844.
