Sections of an earthwork ditch are seen on aerial photographs and visualised lidar data (S1-S2). The date of the ditch is unknown and most likely relates to a natural feature. It is also possible that the ditch may relate to a post medieval trackway not seen on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map (S3). The ditch is in very close relation to a possible Second World War building or hut (WRW 095). The ditch can be seen as an earthwork on visualised lidar form a survey flown in 2015 (S2).
