Summary

The cropmarks of a group of undated ditches are visible on aerial photographs to the west of Mill Lane. It is likely that these cropmarks represent former field boundaries of unknown date. Some of the boundaries fit the pattern of enclosure depicted on modern and 19th century maps, and these are likely to be of post medieval date.
