More information : [Area TQ 172 413] A small fosse, "the site of the ancient castle of the Entons", is in Enton's Coppice about 1/4 mile west of Capel Street.
[O.S. 1" 1806-10 names Ewekene's Farm as Ewtons's Farm, therefore Ewekene's Copse is probably Enton's Coppice as it is the required distance from Capel Street]. (1) A perambulation of Ewekene's Copse revealed nothing more than a complex of woodland boundary banks and ditches.
A trench cut the length of the copse by S.E. Electricity Board engineers revealed nothing of interest. (2)
