A curvilinear feature, possibly raised vegetation, is indistinctly visible on aerial photographs taken in the summer of 1975. At circa 1 metre wide and 13 metres in diameter, it is similar in size and shape to the nearby ring ditch MDV17720. However it is not clear, and not visible on any other available aerial photographs, so its interpretation as having formed over another ring ditch of a Bronze Age barrow is extremely tentative.
