A possible rectilinear ditched enclosure was visible on aerial photographs of 1982 as an incomplete cropmark in a cultivated field on the south-west facing slopes west of Combehayes Farm, Feniton parish. The cropmark of the ditch was on average approximately 1 metre wide, defining an enclose area approximately 36 by 42 metres in size. The north-east corner of the enclosure is not visible as a cropmark. The date of the enclosure is unknown, but is potentially prehistoric in origin. The cropmark was not visible on any additional images available to the survey.
