A pale rectilinear banked enclosure is visible as an earthwork and cropmark on aerial photographs between 1946 and 2010. The bank appears to be between 2 and 4 metres in width and encloses an area of 75 by a minimum of 60 metres, as the south-east side is not clear. The south eastern part seems to have been bisected by a later hedgebank; this extant field boundary is curvilinear and likely to be medieval, but changes direction where it intersects with the enclosure, and the enclosure probably predates it. Below ground remains are likely to survive.
