A pale, roughly circular cropmark approximately 24 metres in diameter is visible on aerial photographs dating from 1946. Its size and siting suggest that it could be the ploughed out remains of a prehistoric burial mound, but this interpretation should be treated with extreme caution as it is based on information visible on only a single run of aerial photographs.
