A dark L-shaped cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a buried ditch circa 2.5m wide, is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmark possibly defines the north-eastern corner of a rectilinear enclosure. Its morphology suggests a late prehistoric or Roman date, although some degree of caution should be exercised as it is possible the cropmark is of modern agricultural origin.
