A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S4). The central grid reference for this cropmark has been adjusted from TF 7244 3545 to TF 7242 3546. The ring ditch is sub-circular in plan with a ditch of up to 4m wide and an external diameter of 29m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is located on the north facing slope of a small valley at approximately 31m OD. Another ring ditch cropmark is located 470m to the northeast (NHER 11895).

A low, spread mound is visible at this location on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S5). It probably represents the remains of the internal mound belonging to the round barrow described above. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently, it is likely that the earthwork still survives.
