It was not possible to positively identify the deserted medieval village described above from the available aerial photographs. However, possible undated earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs on land to the north-west of the area. They are visible only faintly within heathland vegetation and consequently it was difficult to discern the extent of the archaeological features. They have been recorded separately (SHER WLN 086).
