A possible double ditched curvilinear enclosure of later prehistoric date is visible on aerial photographs of 1989 as cropmarks, south of Kenton Common.
The inner possible enclosure is approximately 18 by 25 metres in size. A cropmark of a second possible curvilinear ditched boundary abutting the first on its southern edge increases the possible enclosed area by around 9 metres. The cropmarks are poorly defined and it is possible they are geological in origin.
