Possible ditches of potential prehistoric date are visible as parchmarks on aerial photographs of 1984, to the east of Waddeton. The two parchmarks are visible as a semi-circular ditch approximately 52m in length, with a possible corner of a rectilinear enclosure to the southeast which is roughly north to south and east to west aligned. The parchmarks, which were not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey, are, however, slightly dubious in nature and may be geological in origin.
