A linear ditched feature is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The feature appears to form the north and eastern side of a rectilinear enclosure and it's proximity to the enclosure described in CIN 29054 means that a prehistoric origin cannot be ruled out.
