Linear cropmarks of levelled ditches previously interpreted as evidence of a prehistoric enclosure are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984, to the north of Hooper Hayes Copse, Staverton. The cropmarks, circa 1.5m in width, partly correspond with field boundaries shown on the 1845 Parish Tithe Map and define a rectilinear land parcel of possible medieval or post-medieval date, circa 50m in length by 25m in width. The land parcel is likely associated with a range of buildings shown on this map to the south. The western two cropmarks, which are not shown on this map, had evidently passed out of use by the mid-19th century.
