Cropmarks which have possibly formed over infilled ditches of potential prehistoric to Romano-British date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947, off Moor Lane. The cropmarks comprise the northeast corner of a possible enclosure, the remainding extent of which appears to be masked by an area of cultivated crop or area of different land use. To the east of the possible enclosure are two faintly defined and partial ring ditches. The cropmarks are not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey and the area now lies beneath Sowton Industrial Estate and below ground survival of these possible features is uncertain.

The site is now occupied by Sowton Industrial Estate.
