Full description

Environment Agency, 2021, University of Exeter Understanding Landscapes Project - Lidar visualisation (Cartographic). SDV366001.

Curvilinear banks are visible as earthworks defining a possible curvilinear enclosure.

Hegarty, C., 2025, Comment on Unlocking Landscapes project and related lidar and aerial photograph interpretations (Interpretation). SDV366411.

A possible enclosure of probable Iron Age to Roman date is visible on images derived from lidar data on the north-facing slopes to the south of Stoke Woods. The enclosure is curvilinear in plan, with earthwork banks up to 6m wide defining two possible circuits measuring approximately 40m and 118m across. No entrances are visible on the available images. The possible enclosure forms part of and is probably asociated with field system MDV135589.

Pale marks on LiDAR may be former field system underlying current pattern. Possible enclosure at NGR SS636364. There are a number of Scheduled enclosures in the wider landscape.
