A curvilinear bank, circa 3m wide, which forms the western half of a possible enclosure, circa 28m across, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The earthwork enclosure does not correspond with any curvilinear features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. It is interpreted as being of late prehistoric or medieval origin and may be associated with adjacent field system MDV25638. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery after 1946 and its survival is unknown.
