Cropmarks of levelled ditches are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984 and 1989, on northeast facing slopes to the north of Hooper Hayes Copse, Staverton. The cropmarks form a possible double-ditched sub-rectangular enclosure, measuring approximately 60m long by 55m wide, with angular corners and entrance present along its southeast edge. Cropmarks of the inner circuit, approximately 30m across were, however, less clearly defined. Its form and proximity to other enclosures identified in this area would suggest a late prehistoric or Romano-British date.
