Three sides of a possible ditched trapezoidal enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date were visible on aerial photographs of 1984 as a cropmark on north-west facing slopes overlooking the Culm valley to the north of Garlandhayes Farm. The possible enclosure was incompletely visible, apparently overlain on its north-western edge by the course of the B3181; the visible extent measures approximately 30 metres across at its widest point. Natural cropmarks of geological origin were visible to the north-east of the possible enclosure and further investigation is recommended to confirm its archaeological interpretation.
