A curvilinear single ditch enclosure of uncertain origin is visible on aerial photos (p1). There is a second length of ditch running parallel with the south edge of the enclosure that could be the remains of an outer enclosure ditch. The feature is cut from N-S by an extant field boundary. Its dimensions are roughly 68m x 40m. The enclosure has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
