Cropmarks of possible levelled ditches are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1996 and digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018, to the north of Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen. The short linear and curvilinear features are visible as dark cropmarks within an arable field. They are largely of uncertain origin, as other adjacent marks visible within this land parcel are likely agricultural and/or geological in origin. The cropmarks are, nonetheless, interpreted as being of potential prehistoric date given the high density of prehistoric remains recorded within adjacent land parcels to the west (MDV81301), on the opposing side of an un-named road. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
