A small ring ditch of probable later prehistoric to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of 1992 as a cropmark on the south-east facing combe slopes west of Cutton Cottages, Poltimore. The cropmark was approximately 2.5 metres wide and enclosed an area approximately 18 metres in diameter. No internal features were identifiable. It is possible that the cropmark had formed over the buried remains of an enclosure ditch of a barrow of Bronze Age date.
