A linear earthwork bank is visible defining a possible rectilinear enclosure.

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

A possible rectilinear enclosure is visible on images derived from lidar data near the southern tip of Broadley Hill. The enclosure is defined by low, probably plough spread banks up to approximately 8m wide, enclosing an area up to 82m by 73m in size. The enclosure might have been incorporated into the medieval and post-medieval field pattern, that can be seen extending to the north and south.
