A complex of at least three co-joined curvilinear enclosures, probably of prehistoric date, visible on aerial photographs (p1-4) as cropmarks centred c.150m west-southwest of Ford. Each enclosure is roughly 65m wide and at least 50m long. All are incomplete: some sections appear to be masked, or are not visible in the crop. Within two of the enclosures linear features are visible, running the width of the enclosures. The feature was digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
