Narrow linear cropmarks of possible ditched features of unknown date are visible on the south facing slopes of Kenson Hill, Silverton, on aerial photographs of 1988. The northernmost of the three linear cropmarks appears to be aligned on a telegraph pole, and it is therefore possible some of the cropmarks are modern in date.
