Summary

Cropmarks of two possible parallel ditches of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs. The alignment of these cropmarks does not correspond to that of the post medieval field pattern, and their date is unknown. If these are ditch cropmarks it is possible that they define a road or trackway, or that they are field boundaries. It is also possible that the cropmarks have a modern agricultural origin.
