A ring ditch is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark to the south-east of Dunsmore Cottages. The cropmark is between 2 to 3 metres wide, enclosing an area circa 13 metres in diameter. It is probable that the cropmarks are the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date, one of three in close proximity on the east facing slopes of a shallow combe.
