A dark curvilinear cropmark, approximately 45m in length by 3m in width, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969, to the northeast of Beara Farm, Staverton. The cropmark may have formed over a levelled ditch of a possible enclosure, field boundary or drainage ditch. Its origin is, however, largely uncertain, and it is also possible it is the result of modern agricultural activity.
