The cropmarks of a possible Neolithic long barrow and a possible Bronze Age ring ditch can be seen on aerial photographs (S1). The feature consists of an elongated oval ditch which may relate to a former Neolithic long barrow and a conjoined ring ditch which may relate to a former Bronze Age round barrow. A long boundary ditch (NHER 65391) can be seen to the east of the ring ditch. The relationship between the boundary ditch and ring ditch is unclear. It is possible that the ring ditch may abut, overlay or be overlain by the boundary ditch.
