A cropmark of an L-shaped ditch circa 1.5 metres wide and nearly 50 metres long is visible on aerial photographs of 1989 on the north-facing slopes of Great Haldon, south of Holloway Barton. The cropmark does not correspond with any boundary depicted on the Tithe Map for Kenn but is in keeping with the character of the surrounding field pattern, which has been characterised as derived from medieval enclosure based on strip fields. The cropmark is interpreted as possible evidence of a former field boundary of medieval date that had been cleared prior to the early 19th century.
