A group of earthwork banks and ditches is visible on aerial photographs (p1). The features include a raised platform 16m x 17m enclosed by a ditch, and a series of parallel banks and ditches immediately to its north. It is possible that these are the remains of a small settlement, with at least one building platform and associated trackways or gullies. The features have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
