A curvilinear ditched enclosure is depicted on the transcriptions but does not appear to have a corresponding monument record. However it is recorded on Pastscape.

The enclosure previously described was plotted using a computerised rectification program (AERIAL 4.1) and is more accurately located at SS 9788 2608. It is defined by irregular cropmarks of a ditch enclosing an almost circular area 45m in diameter. It has similar proportions to three Post Medieval tree enclosure rings to the north.
