A dark rectilinear cropmark is visible in the corner of a field on aerial photographs taken in the summer of 1999. It is 2.5 metres in width, and may have formed over the buried remains of an infilled ditch, forming the south-east corner of a later prehistoric or Roman period enclosure. However as this was visible on only a single run of aerial photographs, interpretation is tentative.
