Site visit 16th December 1988. Site lies in flat valley bottom and is visible as low curving banks which seem too deliberate to be old river meanders. The farm manager had no explanation for the site. Other details: Photos H15-17.

The aerial photograph suggests a probable curvilinear double ditched enclosure, probably prehistoric. No entrance is apparent but the south side is not visible. Overlooked by high ground to the north and south.
