Pale vegetation marks, possibly formed over earthwork banks, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The marks may represent earthwork banks, circa 2m wide, that form a small rectangular enclosure, circa 17m long by 13m wide, with a short extension along its western side. The enclosure is of largely uncertain origin but it may be associated with the remains of a medieval or post-field system (MDV127259) which has been recorded in this area. The possible enclosure is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
