The curvilinear enclosure visible on the aerial photographs taken in 1992 is clearly visible on Google Earth imagery captured in 2020 as a dark curvilinear cropmark, with a possible entrance on the south-west side. It overlays, or is overlain by, a rectilinear dark cropmark that was also previously recorded as an enclosure, and which extends into the field to the north. This northern edge was not clearly visible on the 1992 DAP.
