A ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photographs of 1995 and 1999 and digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2018. The cropmark of the ditch is approximately 2m wide and defines a trapezium shaped enclosed area 25m wide and to 31 to 37m long. A gap just over 2m wide in the eastern end of the enclosure might be evidence of an entrance. The enclosure is interpreted as probably of probable later prehistoric to Roman date.
