Dark curvilinear cropmarks interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, circa 3m wide, are visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989. The cropmarks are poorly defined, though possibly form the western side of a curvilinear enclosure, at least 40m across. The morphology of the enclosure suggests a prehistoric or Romano-British date, although a natural or modern agricultural origin is also possible.
