Oval prehistoric enclosure or 'camp' shown clearly on 1946 Royal Air Force aerial photograph, the boundaries or banks of which are partially fossilised in field boundaries shown on the 1888-1890 Ordnance Survey map. A further bank, which appears to project from the enclosure bank in a north-westerly direction on the 1946 aerial photograph, can also be identified as a field boundary but it may have been part of the original enclosure. Nearby field names shown on the Tithe map are Camps Orchard and Court Field.
