A possible sub-circular enclosure of unknown but potentially prehistoric date is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a subtle earthwork to the west of Stoke, centred on circa SS232424852. The possible enclosure is defined by a ditch up to 4 metres wide, which encloses an area of circa 0.2 hectares on the higher combe slopes overlooking the Abbey River. Elements of the ditch might be visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of 1999, but the possible enclosure cannot be clearly seen on any aerial photographs of other dates.
