A rectangular enclosure is visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1940s as a cropmark in a field north of Stoke Benton, Bratton Fleming. The cropmark appears to show three sides of an enclosure defined by a narrow bank with an internal ditch. The bank is only visible on two sides of the feature, while the ditch can be traced on three sides. The enclosure is overlain by Medieval ridge and furrow, and therefore predates the Medieval period, but the precise date is uncertain. Other details: Monument Number 1488959.
