A partial ring ditch circa 1m wide is visible on aerial photographs of 1992, defining an enclosed area circa 8m in diameter, on the south-west facing slopes south of Boringdon Park Wood.
The ring ditch might be evidence of a feature of Bronze Age to Iron Age date, such as a small round barrow or round house.
It is possible that the cropmark is an effect of modern agricultural activity.
