A rectilinear enclosure of probable later prehistoric to Roman date was visible on lower the south-east facing slopes to the north of Rivenford Lane as a cropmark of a ditch on aerial photographs of 1989 and 1992. The cropmark is up to approximately 5 metres wide and encloses an area circa 45 by 55 metres in size. A possible entrance about 5 metres wide is visible halfway along the eastern edge. The western enclosure ditch is not identifiable on the images available to the survey and might be obscured by the extant field boundary.
