Cropmarks of possible prehistoric date, are visible on aerial photographs of 1946, to the southwest of Uplowman. The cropmarks are visible as two partial but fairly well defined rings, situated on gentle northwest facing slope. The outer ring ditch measures approximately 30 metres in diameter, with the inner ring ditch offset approximately 5 metres from the outer ditch. Whilst the cropmarks may well be agricultural in origin, they do lie within an area characterised by prehistoric barrows, ring ditches and an enclosure, all located within close proximity to the northeast and west. Further field investigation, such as geophysical survey, may help to shed light on this possible prehistoric feature.
