Four single ditch curvilinear enclosures, with diameters of between 5m and 8m, are visible on aerial photographs (p1). It is possible that these features are the remains of a settlement of uncertain date. They are however very faint, and could be traces of argicultural marks. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
