A small enclosure is visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark South of Latchmoor Green. The enclosure, which measures approximately 9 by 12 metres internally, was previously recorded as a ring ditch. On reinterpretation the feature was thought to more resemble a D-shaped ditched enclosure or segmented ring ditch. The enclosure ditch might define part of a possible trackway to the south of the larger cropmark enclosure to the north, with which it might be contemporary.
