A poorly-defined, dark curvilinear cropmark circa 2 metres wide is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1999. It is possible that it was associated with the nearby probable later prehistoric or Romano-British enclosures MDV21268 and MDV122490, but as no evidence for this feature was visible on other available aerial photographs, interpretation is tentative.
