Possible medieval ridge and furrow is visible as linear cropmarks forming over banks, aligned north to south and circa 11 metres apart on aerial photographs taken in 1989. The cropmarks cover an area of approximately 1.5 hectares. It may be associated with a field boundary manifesting as a cropmark immediately to the north. Any earthworks are very likely to have been levelled and no evidence of ridge and furrow is visible on any other available aerial photographs.
