A D-shaped dark cropmark, circa 4 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1990 and 1999. Its southern side might possibly continue to the south-west but is less distinct and only visible on the 1999 sortie. At least two dark roughly circular cropmarks are visible on the latter, only one of which was also visible in 1992. They are interpreted as having formed over the buried remains of a later prehistoric enclosure with two possible pits.
