A narrow reverse L-shaped cropmark ditch is visible on aerial photographs to the south of Silverton. The cropmark has previously been interpreted as partial cropmark evieence of a small ditched enclosure. However, it is more likely that this is a broad cropmark of periglacial origin, narrower versions of which are visible throughout this location.
