A small ring ditch was visible on aerial photographs of 1984 as a slightly diffuse yet convincing cropmark on the gentle west facing slopes to the west of Beaumont House, Broad Clyst. The cropmark measured up to circa 3.5 metres wide and enclosed an area approximately 13 metres in diameter. A short break was visible in the east facing edge of the cropmark, but this corresponds with an area of dark natural cropmark within which the cropmark of the ring ditch could not be defined and may continue. No internal features were identifiable. It is possible that the cropmark had formed over the buried remains of an enclosure ditch of a barrow of Bronze Age date.
