A curvilinear bank between circa 5 and 10 metres in width and forming an oval enclosure is visible as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2013. The bank encloses an area 20 by 25 metres and has an entrance on its south-east side. The enclosure is situated on a gentle south-east facing slope to the north-west of All Saint’s Church.
The earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted on the available historic maps. They are situated within a plot recorded as ‘Old Green’ in the Tithe Apportionment.
Land surrounding All Saint’s Church is recorded as a deserted medieval settlement (MDV106196; MDV78652). An Iron Age hilltop enclosure is recorded circa 960m to the south-west (MDV2689), with two further possible enclosures to the south-west (MDV130650 and MDV76095).
The enclosure is interpreted as a probable medieval farmstead or stock enclosure associated with the nearby settlement, however it is possible the enclosure has a prehistoric origin.
Understanding Landscapes Project, 2020-2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Volunteer data, 403.4 (Interpretation). SDV363949.
The earthwork has been interpreted as a rectangular or square enclosure
