Summary
A pale circular cropmark, visible on aerial photographs taken in August 1960, may have formed over a buried archaeological feaure, perhaps a ring ditch. However as this feature is not visible on any other available aerial photographs interpretation is extremely tentative.

A pale ring-shaped cropmark, circa 20 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in August 1960. It resembles a cropmark that formed over a buried ring ditch circa 2 metres in width, but the edges are indistinct and as this feature is not visible on any other available aerial photographs it may be a surface mark resulting from contemporary agricultural activity.
