Cropmark ditches of a rectilinear enclosure which measures circa 25m and at least 30m long. Three sides of the enclosure are clearly visible, with angular corners to the southeast and northwest. The eastern edge of the enclosure is not visible and is possibly obscured by an extant field boundary. A curvilinear enclosure (MDV125723) is visible to the immediate north.
