A ring ditch was recorded from aerial photographs on the west side of a field to north of Potters Elm. Reassessment of the photographs revealed an incomplete but roughly circular cropmark approximately 30 metres in diameter. Although roughly comparable in size to a ring ditch circa 130 metres to the south, the cropmark is possibly of natural and non-archaeological origin. Further investigation, such as geophysical survey, is recommended to clarify the nature of the site.
