A linear cropmark of a levelled ditch, circa 2.5m in width, is visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984, to the northeast of Bulland Farm, Staverton. The northwest to southeast aligned cropmark is cross-contour to the slope and so is tentatively interpreted as a drainage ditch of post-medieval or 19th century date.
