Faint cropmarks of a possible ditch defined roughly square enclosure of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946, on the tip of an east facing spur overlooking the combe of a tributary to the River Yeo, to the south-east of Twitchen Farm. The cropmarks are narrow and faint, distinguishable from the surrounding agricultural pattern only on the north and southern sides of the possible enclosure. The interior is defined only as a pale roughly square area approximately 40 metres across. The cropmarks are not readily identifiable on later aerial photographs it is possible they are agricultural and non-archaeological in origin.
