The potential site of a curvilinear enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The enclosure appears to be bank-defined, 35m by 28m in size, with a gap in it's southern side which may be the position of an entrance. The site is visible as a very faint cropmark and whilst morphologically appears to be prehistoric in origin, a modern agricultural or natural origin cannot be ruled out.
