A curvilinear dark cropmark, circa 2.5 metres in width and approximately 60 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1984. It is interpreted as having formed over the buried ditch of a later-prehistoric enclosure, although it is only visible on a single run of aerial photographs, and sited on a relatively steep slope, so interpretation is tentative.
