Curved linear features consisting of short sections of ditch are visible on aerial photos (p1-2). They are noteworthy due to the fact that they are visible for at least a year; aerial photos show them in 1946 and 1947. They appear to be the remains of deep grooved tracks created by large vehicles of either agricultural or military origin.
