A probable prehistoric to Romano-British enclosure is visible as a cropmark ditch on aerial photographs of 1946 and oblique aerial photographs of 1995, to the northeast of Bolham. The enclosure is visible as a three-sided rectilinear shaped cropmark measuring approximately 40m², with sides to the northwest, northeast and southwest and two angular corners visible. The enclosure is dissected by a north to south aligned field boundary, with the cropmarks within the western field being better defined than those to the east, likely due to a difference in land use within the two fields.
