A possible ring ditch is visible as an indistinct dark cropmark with a radius of 20 metres on aerial photographs taken in 1984. It is located on a spur of land and could have formed over the buried remains of a 1.5 metre wide ditch around a Bronze Age barrow. However no remains are visible on any other available aerial imagery and further work is required to confirm and characterise this feature.
