An oblong mound, 42m x 11m, is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The date and function of this feature are uncertain but it is likely to be the plough-levelled remains of a spoil tip, probably associated with small-scale quarrying.
