A curvilinear dark cropmark, circa 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, with a pale linear cropmark along the southern side visible on a different sortie in the same year. They are interpreted as having formed over a ditched enclosure of possible later prehistoric date, but is only visible on a single sortie and so interpretation is tentative.
