Dark cropmarks of levelled ditches are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989, on gentle southeast facing slope to the southwest of Lake Farm, Woodland. The well-defined cropmarks form a partial rectilinear shaped enclosure, circa 35m in width by at least 45m in length, with angular corners and entrance to the southeast. An L-shaped and curvilinear ditch are visible to the east of the enclosure and may represent associated features. Its form and proximity to other enclosures identified in this area would suggest a prehistoric date.
