A ring ditch was visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark on the gentle south-east facing slopes to the WNW of Hayne House. It is likely the cropmark is the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date. Several further cropmark ring ditches are visible in this area, probably forming a dispersed barrow cemetery. The cropmark is under 2 metres wide and defines an enclosed area approximately 10 metres in diameter. No internal features were identified.
