A curvilinear cropmark, circa 1 metre wide and 26 metres diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1959. It is only visible on a single aerial photograph, so interpretation is very tentative. It is possible that the cropmark formed over the buried remains of an infilled enclosure ditch of possible prehistoric date. The site has been destroyed by road construction.
