Cropmarks which have formed over a possible infilled field boundary ditch of uncertain date are visible on aerial photographs of 1984, to the east of Pincourt Farm. The slightly curvilinear ditch is northnortheast to southsoutheast aligned, although does not obviously appear to form part of a historic field boundary as depicted on the Pinhoe Parish Tithe Map of approximately 1838-48, so may have potential prehistoric origins. This is all the more likely given the proximity of Pin Brook enclosure and other cropmarks recorded to the south. Some caution should, however, be exercised and it is possible the cropmarks have been formed from some modern agricultural activity. The cropmarks are not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
