A possible enclosure of uncertain date is visible as an earthwork banked feature on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the north of Buckshots Cross. The earthwork bank is fairly poorly defined, although appears to form part of a rectilinear shaped enclosure which measures approximately 52m in length by 38m in width, situated on gentle to moderate northeast facing slope. The date of the possible enclosure is uncertain, although given the number of medieval to 19th century field boundaries recorded to the immediate east, is possible they represent associated features. It was not clearly visible on aerial photographs of other digital images made available to the survey.
