Two lengths of ditch, one running S-N for 31m and the other running W-E for 46m, abut one another at right angles, as visible on aerial photographs (p1). It is possible that they represent the remains of a small rectilinear enclosure. Alternatively they could be the remains of field boundaries; they lie on a similar alignment to the surrounding extant field system marked on current OS 1:10,000 mapping. The features have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
