The cropmarks of a section of possible double ditched enclosure or embanked causeway of an unknown date are visible on aerial photographs (S1). It is possible the feature could relate to a section of a double ditched enclosure of an unknown date. However, the feature appears to be visible on the digital 1940s RAF aerial photograph layer (S2) as an earthwork (since levelled) bank flanked by two ditches. It is therefore possible that the feature could relate to a causeway or trackway of a potential medieval to post medieval date.
