A probable rectilinear enclosure, circa 45 metres square, is visible as a dark cropmark less than 2 metres in width on aerial photographs taken in 1989. The southern side of the enclosure is difficult to ascertain and the northern side appears to continue to the east and west. 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.
