A small ring ditch of probable later prehistoric to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of 1992 as a cropmark on the north-west slopes near the summit of a hill north-west of Ratsloe, Huxham.
The cropmark was just over 1 metre wide and enclosed an area approximately 11 metres in diameter. No internal features of obvious breaks in the ditch were identifiable. Nonetheless, the cropmark could be interpreted as having formed over drip gulley of a round house of Iron Age date.
