A dark cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a buried ditch, circa 2.5m wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2018. The visible cropmark defines a complete square enclosure that measures circa 13m by 13m in size. The morphology of the cropmark suggests a late prehistoric or Roman date. Cropmarks of three other enclosures are visible within this land parcel on aerial photographs of 2018. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
