Two similar small enclosures at the northern end of Burley Down are marked on the 1st Edition 1:2500 OS map. They are visible as low earth banks on aerial photographs (p1) and were digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. The westernmost is oval in shape and measures 13m x 6.5m, the other measures 10.5m x 8m. Their function is uncertain.
