A dark rectilinear cropmark, less than 2 metres wide and covering a maximum visible extent of 20 by 35 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken in the summer months of 1976 and 1994. It is located high ground and is interpreted as having formed over the southern part of a probable later prehistoric or Roman rectilinear enclosure ditch. No north side is visible and the enclosure may extend into the woods to the north. Additional linears are visible to the west, but these are less distinct and more irregular, and more typical of cropmarks of geological origin.
