A possible ditched enclosure, of unknown but potentially prehistoric date, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 1992, to the north of Abbotsham Court. The possible enclosure is sub-rectangular in shape and measures circa 30 by 20 metres in size. It is located on a west facing slope, with views along a shallow combe towards the Bristol Channel. The cropmarks are very irregular in form, and it is possible they are non-archaeological in origin.
