A probable prehistoric to Romano-British single-ditched enclosure is visible as cropmark ditches on specialist oblique aerial photographs of 1984, to the northeast of Braddon’s Farmhouse. The three sided, rectilinear shaped enclosure measures approximately 44m in length by 39m in width, with a possible 5m wide entrance along its eastern edge. A Possible cropmark pit is visible along the southern edge, whilst the northern most edge was not visible and is likely obscured by an extant field boundary. The enclosure was not visible on other aerial photographs or digital images made available to the survey.
