A curvilinear bank enclosing an irregular area of approximately half a hectare is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs between 1989 and 1992. The bank is circa 7 metres in width, and sited on a slope at the head of a combe. The function and date of the enclosure is not clear, and further work would be required to clarify the character of this feature. There is no evidence of the earthworks on later available aerial photographs but earthworks may survive.
