A cropmark of a ditch circa 2-3m wide and 110m long is visible on aerial photographs of 1994 defining a possible enclosure circa 2m8 by 12m in size on the east-facing slope south of Weston Farm.
The ditched feature is interpreted as the remains of a possible enclosure of later prehistoric date, although a natural origin is possible.
