A possible level of post-medieval date was seen as earthworks and mapped from aerial photographs. The level, centred at ST 0030 3360, may be accompanied by a second level at ST 0032 3357, but this is difficult to interpret. The second feature could alternatively be quarrying as there are other quarries in the vicinity at ST 0026 3352, ST 0030 3348 and ST 0050 3345.
