Cropmarks which have possibly formed over levelled ditches, circa 4m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, on a hilltop at Warwick Barn Farm, Hennock. The cropmarks are fairly poorly defined, but form a rectilinear enclosure which measures circa 55m long by 50m wide, with fairly angular corners visible to both the northeast and northwest. Additional linear cropmarks to the south of the enclosure may represent associated features. The form and character of the enclosure supports a late prehistoric or Romano-British date.
