Curvilinear cropmarks of possible buried ditched features of unknown date were visible on aerial photographs of 1984 on the west-facing slopes to the south of Columbjohn. The cropmarks might be incomplete evidence of a small double ditched enclosure. The possible incompleteness of the cropmarks might be caused by variations in the underlying mudstone and sandstone geology.
