A rectilinear earthwork enclosure, measuring circa 10 by 12 metres, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947, along the southern side of a curvilinear earthwork bank. A small structure or mound of irregular shape is visible inside the enclosure. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, indicating a 20th century date. It is not clear whether this is an agricultural feature such as a hayrick, or given the proximity to the Taunton Stop Line, whether it is associated with Second World War military activity.
