A subcircular enclosure, 10.5m x 8.5m, is visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme. It has a possible entrance in the south. This feature is possibly a plough-levelled round house, perhaps associated with field boundaries 166692 or, alternatively, a round barrow.
