Dark linear and curvilinear cropmarks interpreted as having formed over levelled ditches, circa 3m wide, are visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002. The cropmarks define three sides of a rectilinear enclosure that measures circa 36m long by 32m wide. Two short ditches extend off the eastern side of the enclosure. They do not correspond with any linear or curvilinear features in this location on the available 19th and early 20th century historic maps. The morphology of the enclosure suggests a late prehistoric or Romano-British date. The cropmarks are not visible on other available aerial imagery.
