An oval mound, circa 15 by 17 metres in size, is visible as a pale area on aerial photographs taken from 1989 onwards and as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. It corresponds to a tree enclosure depicted on historic maps, presumably associated with the post-medieval designed parkland of Dulford House. The mound is similar in shape and appearance to a similar earthwork located to the north (MDV109230).
