A possible ditch and bank defined irregularly shaped enclosure is visible as a faint cropmark on aerial photographs of 1954. The cropmark is not visible on earlier or later aerial photographs, and appears incomplete in 1954, fading eastwards as the possible enclosure crosses a divide between two areas of cultivation of different crops within the same field. Internally, the visible extent of the possible enclosure measures circa 65 metres north to south and circa 40 metres east to west before fading from view. The date of the possible enclosure is unknown, but it is possibly later prehistoric in date. Further field investigation is required to confirm the presence or absence of the enclosure.
