A roughly circular possibly earthwork embanked enclosure of possible later prehistoric or Roman date is visible on digital images derived from infra-red aerial photographs on the steep south-facing combe slopes to the south of Southdown Farm, Malborough. The possible enclosure appears to be circa 45 metres in diameter. The earthwork is not identifiable on earlier or later images available to the survey. Field investigation is required to determine the presence and survival of this site.
