A curved linear feature comprising an outer ditch and inner bank is visivle on aerial photographs (p1). It buts up to an extant field boundary at its SW end, and curves from SW to SE for roughly 56m. It is possible that this feature is the remains of a curvilinear enclosure of uncertain origin. It has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
