A series of dark linear and curvilinear cropmarks of levelled field boundary ditches is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1984 and 1989, at Wash Farm, Staverton. The cropmarks are of varying alignment. They do not correspond with any field boundaries, or respect the historic field patterns, shown on the Staverton Parish Tithe Map of 1845. They are therefore interpreted as being of potential prehistoric date and possibly associated with enclosure MDV43011 to the immediate south.
