Faint outline of cropmark visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Cropmark of extensive field system of uncertain antiquity with cropmark of possible medieval roadway in S quadrant of field. The straight linear nature of the field system and the way it cuts across the cropmark of the possible road may suggest a post-1700 date. Ardscull Moat (KD035-010001-) 495m to E.
