A possible semi-circular ditched enclosure was visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark west of Burrow Farm, Rewe. The possible enclosure is situated in the floodplain of the Exe valley, in close proximity to at least two further cropmark enclosures of probable later prehistoric date.
The possible enclosure is defined by a north-east to south-west aligned linear cropmark of a ditch, abutted on the north-western side by a curvilinear cropmark of a ditch. The cropmarks are mostly less than two metres wide, with the exception of a possible widened terminal on the western edge of the curvilinear cropmark, marking a possible entrance. The possible enclosed area measures circa 43 by 23 metres in size.
