A possible linear cropmark ditch is visible on aerial photographs of 1976 on a north-facing combe slope to the south of Brinscott Farm. The cropmark is visible for approximately 225 metres, running roughly parallel to the course of the stream to the north-west. The date and function of the possible ditched linear feature are unknown. The linear feature appears to overlay, or is overlain by, ditched square enclosures also visible as cropmarks and interpreted as being of late prehistoric date or Roman date. It is possible the linear cropmark is agricultural and non-archaeological in origin. The cropmark is not visible on aerial photographs available to the survey taken in later years.
