The cropmarks of a ring ditch most likely associated with the site of a Bronze Age round barrow and boundary ditches and enclosures of an unknown, but probable medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs form 2022 (S4). The possibility that the boundary ditches could be earlier in date cannot be ruled out.
