Summary
It is recorded that cropmarks were visible on this field at some time before 1974, and although little information on these is recorded, it is thought that they may have represented field systems or drainage ditches. Fieldwalking in 1986 by the Fenland Survey recovered a small number of medieval pottery sherds from across the field.
