An irregularly pale cropmark approximately 15m by 10m in size is visible on aerial photographs of 1976 to the south of Buckleigh Farm. The cropmark is interpreted as possible evidence for a levelled mound, possibly a barrow of Bronze Age date. No evidence of an earthwork mound was visible on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 to 2017.
