A series of fragmented linear ditch features of a possible medieval to post medieval date, are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The features most likely relate to a series of boundaries, field boundaries and trackways possibly forming part of a field system. The features have been tentatively suggested to be medieval to post medieval in date and may have related to multiple phases. It is also possible that some elements of the site may be earlier (possibly Iron Age to Roman) in date. The cropmarks of post medieval boundaries recorded on the readily available historic maps (for example S3) are also visible on the consulted sources. These features have not been mapped as they are recorded in good detail on the historic maps. An area of dense geological cropmarks can be seen across the area and its possible that some of the mapped features may be natural in origin.
