A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs (S1-S2). This cropmark is located at TF 7121 3917. The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan with a 3.5m wide ditch and an external diameter of 26m. It is likely that this ring ditch is on Bronze Age date and that it relates to a Bronze Age round barrow. It is located on a gentle northwest facing slope close to the head of a small dry valley. Another Bronze Age ring ditch cropmark is located 870m to the southwest (NHER 12836).
