A section of curvilinear ditch, which may have formed part of a large ring ditch of an unknown date, is visible on aerial photographs (S1). The date and origin of the feature is unknown. It is possible that the feature could be archaeological in origin. However, the possibility that the feature relates to modern activity or drainage cannot be ruled out. The feature is only visible on one of the sources (S1) consulted as part of this project .
