Faint cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs (p1) 200m to the south of the prehistoric enclosures described in CIN 16789. They suggest the presence of a curvilinear ditched enclosure, 42m by 39m in size, with a possible east facing entrance. The features are likely to be of prehistoric date, however a modern agricultural origin cannot be entirely ruled out. These features were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
