A dark curvilinear cropmark, circa 1.5 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1992. It may have formed over the northern side of a curvilinear enclosure ditch, typologically perhaps of later-prehistoric date. However it is only visible on photographs taken in June 1992 and interpretation is tentative.
