Dark cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs taken in drought conditions in 2018. Some form a rectilinear shape, and could be interpreted as having formed over a later prehistoric or Romano-British enclosure. However it is not clearly defined and the more likely explanation is that the cropmarks are a result of the underlying geology.
