Earthworks of banks and pits are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the west of Ogwell Grange, Ogwell. The two ringed banks, circa 3m wide, with internal pits, circa 11m diameter, are located 30m apart and are situated on gentle northwest facing slope within a combe. They do not correspond with any circular features shown in this location on the available 19th century historic maps which is characterised as post-medieval parks or gardens. They are largely of uncertain origin, although are tentatively interpreted as ornamental tree enclosure rings of post-medieval or 19th century date. A modern agricultural origin is, however, also possible.
