A possible ditch defined roughly square enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date date is visible as a faint and incomplete cropmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010, to the south-west of Langford Mill. The cropmarks of the possible enclosure ditch are up to 4 metres wide, enclosing a space up to 40 metres across. Further work such as geophysical survey might resolve this interpretation.
