The remains of a possible rectilinear enclosure of uncertain date are visible on aerial photos (p1). The feature consists of an inner rectangular ditched feature, open along its south edge, 60m long and at least 35m wide. A second length of ditch runs parallel with the west edge of the first, and roughly 11m from it. The site has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
