A rectilinear enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (p1). It consists of two parallel banks, butting up to an extant field hedge at their east limit, running E-W for 60m then turning sharply south and running for 40m to butt up against another extant hedge. It is unclear whether the extant hedges form part of the enclosure, or cut through it. Nothing is visible in the crop of adjoining fields, on the other side of these hedges. The cropmark features have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
