Cropmarks of a ditched enclosure are visible.

Cropmarks define a ditched enclosure of probable later prehistoric date, with a rectilinear innermost circuit approximately 40m across and a curvilinear outer circuit up to 90m across. The southern extent of the enclosure cannot be fully or confidently defined due to the varying depths of natural bedrock geology and colluvial subsoil inhibiting cropmark formation in this area. No entrances or internal features can be identified from the visible cropmarks.
