A ring-shaped earthwork bank, 4 metres wide with a total diameter of approximately 26 metres, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It corresponds to a feature depicted on late-19th century OS mapping, which appears to be a post-medieval tree-ring enclosure forming part of the designed landscape around Bigadon House. The ground surface is obscured by tree cover on the available aerial imagery.
