A dark rectilinear cropmark, circa 2 metres wide and covering a maximum visible extent of 14 by 8 metres, is visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 1959. It has been interpreted as having formed over the northern corner of a probable later prehistoric or Roman rectilinear enclosure ditch, and is likely to have extended some distance to the south on the other side of the road. A deep road cutting in this location probably destroyed this particular site. This feature was formerly recorded as part of MDV10025, with which it may be associated.
