Dark linear cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 3m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in June and July of 2018. The cropmarks define the north, south and west sides of a possible rectilinear enclosure, circa 45m across. The morphology of the cropmarks suggests a late prehistoric or Roman date. Some degree of caution should, however, be exercised as it is equally possible that the cropmarks are of modern agricultural origin.
