A possible ditched enclosure of probable prehistoric to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of the 1980s onwards as a cropmark on the south facing slopes south of Burridge Road, Brampford Speke. The cropmark is somewhat diffuse and irregular, particularly on the western edge, but measures between 2 and 5 metres wide, defining a possible roughly D-shaped enclosure approximately 45 by 30 metres in extent. No clear entrance or internal features were visible.
