Two very clear pale circular cropmarks or soilmarks are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1951. At 8 metres across they could be the levelled remains of small Bronze Age barrow mounds, but caution must be used in interpretation as they are not visible on any other of the available aerial photographs.
