A curvilinear cropmark which has formed over an infilled ditch of possible prehistoric or Romaon-British date is visible on specialist oblique aerial photographs of 1994, to the northeast of Upham House. The cropmark is northeast to southwest aligned and curves towards the southeast at either end. The cropmark possibly forms part of the northern edge of an enclosure, the remainder of which was not visible. An additional cropmark ditch was also recorded towards the southwest end of the possible enclosure. Further aerial survey and ground investigation, in particular geophysical survey, may help to clarify the nature of the cropmarks recorded here.
