Curvilinear cropmarks interpreted as having formed over a levelled ditch, circa 2.5m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. Whilst the origin of these cropmarks is largely uncertain, it is possible they represent a water channel associated with a 19th century catch meadow system (MDV125854), or else they define the eastern extent of a curvilinear enclosure, although their location within a shallow combe would make this unlikely. A geological origin is also possible. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
