Cropmarks which have formed over infilled ditches of a possible prehistoric or Romano-British enclosure are visible on aerial photographs of 1966 onwards, to the northwest of Hayes Farm. The rectilinear shaped enclosure measures approximately 42m in length by 33m in width, with well-defined sides to the west, northwest and southeast, but less so to the northeast and east. The enclosure is located in an area where a large number of other such cropmarks have been recorded, including a number of other enclosures, as well as numerous ring ditches. The area forms part of an important prehistoric and Romano-British landscape and has been subject to fairly extensive aerial survey.
