The faint cropmarks of a possible Bronze Age ring ditch are seen on aerial photographs (S1-S2). The ring ditch may relate to the remains of a former Bronze Age round barrow. The eastern section of the feature appears to be crossed by a probable later boundary ditch (NHER 36455). Geological cropmarks are also visible across the area and it is possible that the faint ring ditch could be natural origin. A larger probable Bronze Age ring ditch (NHER 65630) is visible approximately 5m to the west.
