A small enclosure is visible as an earthwork on 1940s RAF vertical aerial photographs [1]. It appears to have been plough-levelled by the 1960s as Ordnance Survey aerial photographs of this date show it as a cropmark [2]. The enclosure is located at the corner of a field, is circular in plan and defined by a 3m wide ditch, enclosing an area 6.5m across. Although it is not clear what this feature represents, it may be an agricultural feature related to the post-medieval field layout shown on historic Ordnance Survey mapping [3].

A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [4].
