Dark rectilinear cropmarks, between approximately 1 and 4 metres in width, are indistinctly visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018. They do not form a clear circuit, and interpretation is tentative. Given their location, it is possible that they formed over the buried ditches of the north-east and south-east sides of a later prehistoric enclosure measuring at least 40 metres in size.
