A cropmark which has possibly formed over an infilled ditch of potential prehistoric or Romano-British date is visible on aerial photographs of 1999, to the southeast of Farringdon. The L-Shaped cropmark is fairly well-defined and is northeast to southwest and northeast to southwest aligned, with an angular corner to the northwest. The cropmark may represent the northern extent of a prehistoric rectilinear enclosure, although other cropmarks observed within the vicinity which were interpreted as being of modern origin, such as land drainage ditches, may cast doubt on this interpretation. The cropmark was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
