A linear ditched feature is visible on aerial photographs of 1995 to 2018. The ditch cropmark is approximately 2m wide, defining a V-shaped feature 100m long. The linear feature is located between two ditched enclosures of probable later prehistoric date, but it is unclear if the linear feature is associated with either of the enclosures or represents a separate phase of activity. The date and function of the feature are unknown but it is probably of later prehistoric to Roman date.
