Summary
A curvilinear feature is visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1999, presumably forming over a ditch. The cropmark is visible in a single field but may extend into fields to the north and west to form a complete circuit resembling an enclosed settlement of later prehistoric to Romano-British date. The feature is only visible on a single run of photographs, so any interpretation is necessarily tentiative.

A curvilinear feature is visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1999, probably forming over a narrow ditch less than 2 metres wide. The cropmark is visible in a single field but may extend into fields to the north and west to form a complete circuit. If so, its form would resemble an irregular curvilinear enclosure typically of later prehistoric to Romano-British date, although the ditch is very narrow. The feature is only visible on a single run of photographs, so this interpretation is necessarily tentiative.
