Earthwork banks (AP29) which appear to define the south-eastern part of a large, oval enclosure were recorded during aerial photographic transcription undertaken as part of the programme of archaeological investigations for the Unlocking our Coastal Heritage project. The visible extent of the enclosure, which broadly correlates with lynchet 11 recorded during the earthwork survey, is about 85m north-south by 30m east-west. It looks to have been partly levelled by a trackway on its western side.
