The cropmarks of a possible settlement have been revealed by oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995), immediately to the NE of Preston Mill (NT57NE 20). It may be sub-circular with an internal diameter of at least 100m. Three rectangular cropmarks are visible to the SE within the interior, measuring about 8m to 10m by 5m. A further rectangular mark is visible 30m to the NE. It measures about 20m WSW-ENE by 5m transversely.
