A dark curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled ditch, circa 3m wide, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2016. The cropmark possibly defines the western edge of a ring ditch which measures circa 20m in diameter. The morphology of the cropmark suggests a prehistoric or Romano-British date, although some degree of caution should be exercised, and it is possible that the cropmark is of modern agricultural origin.
