An oval or sub-circular cropmark of probable prehistoric date was visible on aerial photographs on the gentle south-east facing slopes to the south of Waterleat House. The cropmark is under 1.5 metres wide and defines an enclosed area approximately 17 metres by 15 metres across at the widest point. A possible break in the cropmark can be seen on the south-eastern edge. No internal features were identified. It is possible that the cropmark is evidence of a barrow of Bronze Age date, part of a possible cemetery in this area.
