Two probable fungal rings or cattle feeders are visible as cropmarks on specialist oblique aerial photographs of 1992, to the south of Whorridge Farm. The two adjacent and partial cropmarks are broadly circular in shape and resemble prehistoric ring ditches, although given their poor clarity and definition are unlikely to be of archaeological origin. These probable modern features were not transcribed as part of this survey.
