Cropmarks which have formed over linear ditches, circa 3m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018. The ditches partly define three sides of a rectilinear enclosure which measures circa 57m long by 47m wide, with an angular corner to the northeast and a possible break of an entrance along the eastern edge. Cropmarks which define the southern enclosure edge are not clearly visible. Its form and character and proximity to enclosure MDV37201 to the immediate north supports a late prehistoric or Romano-British date. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
