A series of linear, cross-aligned cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled ditches is visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984. The cropmarks are poorly defined and are of largely uncertain origin, although may be associated with two possible enclosures recorded to the immediate southwest (MDV28895 & MDV28897).
