A small ring ditch was visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark to the north-east of Singleton Park. The cropmark was on average 1 metre wide but approaches 2 metres width on its eastern edge. It enclosed a space approximately 5 metres in diameter. The cropmark fell within a wider area of cropmark evidence for prehistoric settlement, agriculture and funerary activity. The enclosure could therefore be interpreted as evidence for a small barrow of Bronze Age date or potentially a round house of Iron Age to Roman date.
