A pale rectangular cropmark is indistinctly visible on aerial photographs taken between 1984 and 1995. This was previously recorded as a rectangular enclosure, part of MDV28648. However its east side corresponds to a field boundary depicted on the Tithe Map, the west side is too indistinct to transcribe and no southern edge is visible. It is considered likely that the very straight north edge could have formed over another field boundary, possibly of post-medieval date, that had been removed by the mid-19th century; a pale indistinct linear suggests that this may have continued further to the west.
Many of the aerial photographs consulted by the survey are copies of DAPs held by the Historic England Archive. In some cases these have been recorded as separate sources. This is because variations in the way the prints have been processed could result in images on which archaeological features are visible to a greater or lesser degree.
