This partial enclosure, of which only the southern half is visible, is possibly oval in shape and measures approximately 28m in width. It is situated on moderate west facing slope of a prominent spur. The possible prehistoric enclosure lies in close proximity to a number of other cropmarks recorded here as part of this survey, including a second enclosure to the immediate east. The cropmarks of this enclosure closely respect those derived from the DAP transcriptions and may in fact represent part of this same feature (allowing for some error in the rectification process) or may represent associated features. These DAP transcriptions were previously associated with enclosure MDV37553 to the east, although have now been appended to this monument record instead.
