Summary
Cropmarks of a number of undated ditched enclosures and other features visible on aerial photographs, They include a circular enclosure, c30m in diameter, part of a possible double-ditched circular enclosure and next to it a square enclosure. Part of a narrow rectilinear enclosure, aligned north-east to south-west has also been identified. To the north, there is a rectilinear enclosure with possible internal features including pits. A trackway, aligned north-west to south-east, skirts the northern edge of the circular enclosure. A geophysical survey undertaken in 2016 did not identify any of the cropmarks apart from the circular enclosure.
