Cropmarks which have formed over possible infilled ditches of a potential prehistoric or Romano-British enclosure are visible on aerial photographs of 1992, to the north of Blackhorse. The cropmarks are fairly poorly defined but would appear to form part of a small rectilinear shaped enclosure which measures approximately 30m by 30m in size. The nature of the cropmarks are, however, uncertain as a geophysical survey work carried out here in 2014 does not show any evidence of this possible enclosure. The cropmarks have, nonetheless, been recorded given its proximity to a much larger and better defined enclosure to the immediate northwest. The possible enclosure was not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
