Dark cropmarks, interpreted as having formed over buried ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible on digital images derived from oblique aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks define all four sides of a sub-rectangular enclosure that measures circa 16m long by 14m wide, with sub-angular corners and possible entrance to the northeast. The morphology of the cropmarks suggests a late prehistoric or Roman date.
