A possible ring ditch is visible on aerial photographs of 1980, as an indistinct cropmark of a ditch up to circa 4 metres wide, incompletely enclosing a roughly circular area 16m in diameter. The ring ditch cannot be confidently identified on aerial photographs of 1992.
The ring ditch is interpreted as the possible remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date.
