No features were identified at this location on the consulted aerial sources. The cropmark of a semi-circular ditch described above, visible on an aerial photograph (S1), appears to be part of round barrow cemetery NHER 1946, located 90m to the west, although it is hard to be sure which specific mark is being referred to.
