Possible field boundaries or enclosures potentially of later prehistoric date were visible on aerial photographs of 1996 as linear cropmarks west of Coblands Cross, Chitterley. Located on a gentle west facing slope overlooking the Exe valley, the cropmarks might define elements of roughly a NNE-SSW orientated coaxial field system. Further, less regular linear cropmarks on an approximately north-west to south-east alignment, might be evidence of a separate phase of field enclosure or possibly evidence of a rectilinear enclosure. A possible circular enclosure visible immediately to the east is recorded separately.
