Cropmarks of two possible sections of ditch circa 1m wide are visible on aerial photographs of 1984 on the north-east tip of a spur to the north-east of Durley Wood. The cropmarks have been interpreted as defining an irregularly shaped enclosure up to circa 27m across. The interpretation of the cropmarks is complicated by surface marks caused by agricultural activity, and it is possible that some or all of the marks are agricultural in origin. Further work, such as geophysical survey, is recommended to clarify the character of this feature.
