Summary
Two possible enclosures identified from 1947 aerial image in 1985 project. There was no trace of the north-western 'enclosure' found during field investigation in 1998. The second 'enclosure' to the south-east at SX64679062 is not an enclosure, the slight banks probably being associated with the nearby streamwork.
