Dark curvilinear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, between 4m and 7m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2015 and 2018. The cropmarks possibly define the northwest edge of a curvilinear enclosure which measures circa 75m across. The morphology of the cropmarks suggests a possible prehistoric or Romano-British date, although some degree of caution should be exercised, and it is also possible that the cropmarks are of geological origin.
