Cropmarks of levelled ditches are visible on oblique aerial photographs taken in 1984 and 1989, on gentle southeast facing slope at Parkfield, Staverton. The cropmarks, approximately 5m in width, form a partial oval enclosure which measures approximately 65m in length by 60m in width and bisected by an un-named road. A linear ditch extends from the western edge of the enclosure, although it is unknown whether this represents part of an associated features. Its form and proximity to other enclosures identified in this area would suggest a prehistoric date.
