Dark linear cropmarks interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 1992. The cropmarks possibly define the southwest corner of a rectilinear enclosure. The morphology of this enclosure suggests a prehistoric or Romano-British date. Cropmarks of a double-ditched oval enclosure (MDV50169) are visible to the immediate northwest.
