A rectilinear ditched enclosure visible as an earthwork on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs, present condition unclear. The enclosure measures 30m x 10m internally (long axis approximately NE-SW), the ditches are approximately 3m wide and appear shallower at the eastern end. The date and function of the feature is unclear, but it may relate to medieval or post-medieval agriculture.
