A cropmark of a ditch up to circa 4m wide is visible on aerial photographs of 1989 defining a roughly square or rectilinear enclosed area up to circa 45m by 75m across.
The cropmark is interpreted as evidence of an enclosure of probable Iron Age to Roman date.
The archaeological cropmark is partly obscured by agricultural cropmarks, and no evidence of an entrance or internal features is identifiable.
