Faint cropmarks which have formed over levelled ditches are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1989 and digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2018, on east facing slope towards the crest of a hilltop, southeast of Parkfield, Staverton. The fragmented, dark cropmarks form an ovoid enclosure circa 55m in length by 42m in width, with two additional cropmarks to the northeast which are likely represent associated features. Its form and proximity to other enclosures identified in this area would suggest a prehistoric or Romano-British date.
