A curvilinear cropmark which has formed over a levelled ditch, circa 3m wide, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken during the summer of 2018. The cropmark forms the northern half of a possible sub-oval enclosure which measure circa 45m across and which is bisected by an extant field boundary. With exception of a short stub, the remaining extent of the enclosure within the adjacent land parcel to the south is not visible. Its form and character support a late prehistoric or Romano-British date.
