Sub-circular enclosure, circa 30 metres across, located on north-facing slope of a low hill in the south of the survey area. It is not a naturally defensible site and although the enclosure possesses a substantial bank, 0.4 - 0.5 metres high, it is not surrounded by a ditch. The bank is most prominent on the east, north and west sides, and has a narrow entrance opening to the south-east. The enclosure has no clear relationship with the neighbouring field banks.

A curvilinear earthwork bank of a sub-circular shaped enclosure, circa 7m wide and 32m in diameter, with possible entrance to the south, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, within Greenawell Park, Ogwell. The enclosure is interpreted as being of potential prehistoric or Romano-British date which is likely associated with earthwork banks of field system MDV76373. A second enclosure (MDV76355) has also been transcribed circa 220m to the northwest.
