Dark cropmarks interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 2.5m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks are fairly well-defined and possibly form the southeast and southwest sides of a rectilinear enclosure, at least 50m across and situated on gentle northeast facing slope. A 5m wide gap along the southeast enclosure edge is interpreted as a possible entrance. The morphology of the cropmarks suggest a late prehistoric or Romano-British date.
