A possible circular cropmark of a ditch was visible on aerial photographs of 1947 on the gentle north-facing slopes of a spur, west of Higher Moorlands, Luppitt parish. The cropmark is approximately 4 to 6 metres wide and encloses an area roughly 55 metres in diameter. The cropmark is very faint and not visible in the north-east quadrant of the possible enclosure. No clear entrance or internal features were visible. The cropmark has been tentatively interpreted as possible evidence of a ditch defined enclosure, potentially of later prehistoric to Roman date. However, it must be considered possible that the cropmark has a non-archaeological origin, such as agricultural activity. The cropmark was not noted on any other images available to the survey.
