A curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a buried ditch, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The cropmark, circa 3m wide, possibly defines the western extent of a curvilinear enclosure interpreted as being of potential late prehistoric date. The cropmark is not visible on other available aerial imagery. Some caution should, however, be exercised and it is also possible the cropmark is of natural origin.
