A cropmark which has formed over an infilled ditch of a possible ring ditch of uncertain date is visible on aerial photographs of 1955, within Winslade Park. The partial semi-circular cropmark is poorly defined but may have formed part of a complete ring measuring approximately 15m in diameter. The cropmark may form part of a parkland feature, such as a small ditch cut around a tree, or some such feature, or may also conceivably be of prehistoric origin. A similar such feature, but visible as a possible earthwork, was recorded in close proximity to the northwest and may represent an associated feature. The cropmark was not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
