Linear cropmarks which have formed over levelled ditches, circa 2m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The cropmarks form three straight sides of a rectilinear enclosure, circa 55m long by 40m wide, with angular corners visible to the southeast and northwest. The northeast extent of the enclosure is obscured by an area of dark cropmarks and the southwest corner by cropmarks of a relict field boundary. A short section of ditch beyond the southeast corner may represent an associated feature. The form and character of the enclosure supports a late prehistoric or Roman date.
