A D-shaped ditched enclosure of probable Iron Age to Roman date was visible on aerial photographs of the 1990s as a cropmark on the south and west-facing slopes to the north of Long Plantation, Upton Pyne.
The majority of the visible cropmark was curvilinear in plan and of varying width, measuring between circa 1.5 and 4 metres across, enclosing an area circa 28 to 23 metres in size. The cropmark that defined the north-east side of the enclosure was of slightly different character, being narrower and more regular in appearance than the remainder of the enclosure. It also possibly extends beyond the enclosure to the north-west, perhaps forming part of an associated field system
Many of the aerial photographs consulted by the survey are copies of DAPs held by the Historic England Archive. In some cases these have been recorded as separate sources. This is because variations in the way the prints have been processed could result in images on which archaeological features are visible to a greater or lesser degree.
