A double ditch rectilinear enclosure is visible on aerial photos (p1). The inner ditch forms a complete enclosure 40m x 50m, while the outer ditch is only visible along its north and west lengths. There is a gap of 9m between the two ditches. The enclosure has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.

The cropmarks of the removed field boundaries mentioned elsewhere in this record by Griffith have, given that they likely represent un-associated features, been recorded as separate monuments by the NMP survey. The monument polygon for this record has been amended accordingly.
