A dark rectilinear cropmark is visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018. It is interpreted as having formed over the north side of the buried ditches of a later prehistoric enclosure. It may be visible on earlier aerial imagery but this was not all available as the cropmark falls outside the project area; this is also the reason it has not been transcribed.
