A dark rectilinear cropmark, circa 2 metres wide and covering an area of circa 28 by 33 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. Its form suggests a later prehistoric origin could be possible, although it is low lying, and it may have formed over the buried ditches of a much later enclosure ditch. It is not visible on other available aerial imagery and caution should be used in interpretation.
