A ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photographs of 1995. The cropmarks of the ditch are approximately 1-2m wide. Although incompletely visible they appear to define an oval enclosed area 50m by 44m in size. A linear cropmark of a ditch projects from the north-west side of the enclosure for circa 24m. It is possible this is the northern edge of a funnel entrance, although a matching projection cannot be identified to the south. The enclosure is interpreted as probably of probable later prehistoric to Roman date.
Two curvilinear cropmarks of ditches flank the south-eastern enclosure ditch. It is unclear if these are associated with the enclosure or represent separate phases of activity.
