A cropmark which has formed over a levelled ditch, circa 3m wide, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The ditch defines the south and west sides of a possible rectilinear enclosure which measures circa 45m across, with an angular corner visible to the southwest. The character and form of the enclosure supports a late prehistoric or Romano-British date. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
