A well-defined pale curvilinear cropmark, circa 2.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1950. It branches into two parallel sections circa 3 metres apart in the northern segment. The cropmark is tentatively interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of a boundary ditch or trackway, and may have been associated with the nearby enclosure MDV122490 and of possible later prehistoric or Romano-British date. It is not depicted on the geophysics plot from investigations undertaken in 2013, and may have been ploughed out during the second part of the 20th century.
