Full description

A rectilinear enclosure, circa 35 metres in width, is visible as an interrupted dark cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 1989. The northern side of the enclosure is not distinguishable, and there may be an entrance in the southern side, although this is supposition as there are several discontinuities on this side. The size and shape is consistent with an interpretation as a ditched settlement enclosure of later prehistoric or Romano-British date. The cropmark is not visible on any other available aerial photographs but there is potential for below-ground remains to survive.
