An enclosure of probable prehistoric or Roman date is visible as a cropmark ditch on specialist oblique aerial photographs of 1975, to the south of Willand. The rectilinear enclosure is well defined in form, with straight sides and angular corners and measuring approximately 37.4m in length by 31m in width. The enclosure is partly obscured by dense geological patterning visible as a series of linear cropmarks splaying across the site. Possible associated linear cropmark ditches were, however, visible to the south of the enclosure, although given the density of linear field drains within the immediate vicinity the origin of these possible ditches is uncertain. The enclosure was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
