A dark curvilinear cropmark, interpreted as having formed over a levelled ditch, circa 2m wide, is visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989. The partial cropmark has been interpreted as evidence of a possible prehistoric barrow, although some caution should be exercised, and it is also possible that the cropmark is of agricultural or geological origin.
