A possible ditched square enclosure is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark on the south-facing slopes overlooking the Culm Valley, south-west of Heazille Cottages. The cropmark is between 1 and 2 metres in width and encloses an area up to approximately 28 across. Geological cropmarks almost obscure the central area of the cropmark making interpretation difficult; the north-east facing edge of the enclosure in particular is difficult to transcribe. The south-eastern corner is also difficult to interpret with confidence; a possible break in the boundary at this point might be interpreted as an entrance but it is possible geological cropmarks have been conflated with archaeological remains in this area.
