Dark irregular cropmarks covering an extensive area are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1963 and 1992, and are probably a result of fissures in the bedrock. Two broad parallel curvilinear cropmarks can be observed in most detail on aerial photographs taken in 1992. Their variable tone matches that of the other cropmarks, and they appear to be of variable depth as well as width. It is therefore considered most likely that these cropmarks are also of geological origin.

Curvilinear and parallel cropmarks are visible. The cropmarks extend to a length of circa 225m and are broadly northeast to southwest aligned. At their northeast extent, the cropmarks closely resemble other adjacent linear and curvilinear marks in this location which are of probable geological origin.
The origin of the cropmarks to the southwest which are much broader at circa 5m wide and better defined is less certain.
