A cropmark is visible on aerial photographs of 1971, centred on circa SS41012448 on a north-facing slope overlooking a tributary to the River Yeo, to the east of Ford village. The cropmark measures circa 35 by 25 metres in size, and may be forming over the remains of a small roughly rectilinear ditched enclosure. A smaller internal enclosure may be visible towards the north-western end of the enclosure and a possible annexe or apsidal feature to the south-eastern end. The date and function of the feature are unknown. It is not visible on any other photographs available to the survey.
