A segmented dark curvilinear soilmark, less than a metre wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 2016. It does not fit into the surrounding field system and is not depicted on the historic mapping, and is interpreted as an earlier ditched feature, perhaps associated with prehistoric activity in this area. It is not visible on earlier available imagery, and was only visible when the topsoil had been stripped and the site was under excavation.
