The corner of a possible enclosure ditch is visible as a dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken between 1989 and 1999. The cropmark is up to 4 metres wide and a minimum of 55 metres in length, with a curved right angled turn at the northern end, resembling the corner of an enclosure of rectilinear shape. Such enclosures are often Iron Age or Romano-British in date and, as below-ground remains are likely to survive, further work such as geophysical survey could help to ascertain the character and extent of this feature.
