A dark curvilinear cropmark, less than 2 metres wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1992. It may have formed over the northern corner of a curvilinear enclosure ditch, sited on a south-east facing slope, typologically perhaps of later-prehistoric date. However it is only visible on photographs taken in June 1992 and interpretation is tentative.
