A number of standing stones are claimed in this area; a broken stone survives in a corner of a field nearest the road at this grid reference.
Sites of stones were also recorded at
SO 2968 7904 to the east of a pair footpaths, north side of the road
SO 2950 7870 to north edge of the south side of the road
SO 2989 7850 in the south / south west of a field, south of the road
Nothing was found of these on a thorough investigation of field boundaries and corners relevant to their positions.
A possible long barrow was further west at SO 293 788; 150 loads of small stones were removed, destroying the mound, in order to fill a pit.
An iron age homestead was recorded to the east at SO 303 788; no earthworks visibly survive; the homestead to the west at Rockhill is worth a visit, sitting adjacent to a footpath; SO 290 785.
