Transcriptions of curvilinear ditches correspond to the grid reference for PRN166740.

Faint cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs (p1) 200m to the south of the prehistoric enclosures described in CIN 16789. They suggest the presence of a curvilinear ditched enclosure, 42m by 39m in size, with a possible east facing entrance. The features are likely to be of prehistoric date, however a modern agricultural origin cannot be entirely ruled out. These features were digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
