A circular feature approximately 1.2 metres in diameter is visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s, and is visible as a cylindrical pale structure on aerial photographs taken in 1960. A possible interpretation is that this is a concrete anti-tank cylinder of Second World War date, perhaps one that has been relocated. It is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010 and is likely to survive. A site visit is necessary to verify the nature of this feature.
