Cropmarks of a possible curvilinear enclosure of later prehistoric or Roman date are visible in the large field on the east side of Exmouth Road. However, some sections of the enclosure are poorly defined and it is possible therefore that the cropmarks could be natural in origin The field was once divided into several small fields and the lines of former field boundaries are also visible.
