A dark curvilinear cropmark, circa 30 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 in the corner of a field. Its location and size suggests that it may have formed over the remains of the ditch around a prehistoric barrow. However it is not complete, and is not visible on any other available aerial photographs, so interpretation is tentative.
