Fragmented linear ditch features of an uncertain date are seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S1). It is possible that the features may have related to a series of possible boundary ditches, field boundaries and enclosures. A dense area of geological cropmarks can be seen across the area and its possible that some of the features may be natural in origin. Medieval to post medieval finds (NHER 55037) have been previously recorded in the area. The monument polygon has been updated.
