A circular cropmark of a possible ditch was visible on aerial photographs of 1989 to the east of Silverton Park Farm. The cropmark was slightly irregular in plan, defining a roughly circular feature between 27 and 30 metres in diameter. It is possible the cropmark was evidence of a levelled barrow of Bronze Age date but a geological and non-archaeological origin must also be considered possible. The cropmark was not visible on any more images available to the survey. Further investigation is recommended.
