Two rectilinear enclosures and a series of linear features are visible as cropmarks near to ring ditch NHER 12835. These features can only be seen on NLA aerial photographs from 1976 (S1). The first enclosure is centred at TF7116 4041 and is approximately 50 x 35m. Inside this enclosure (within the northern half of it) there is an 'L' shaped cropmark that runs from TF7115 041 to TF7116 4041 to TF7115 4042. Just to the east there is a linear running from TF7118 4040 to TF7122 4042, which is almost in line with, and adjoining, the southern side of this enclosure. About 10m to the north of the northern side of this enclosure there is the cropmark of another ditched linear, it is parallel to that side of the enclosure and runs from TF7113 4043 to TF7116 4044. Approximately 50m east of this enclosure lies a linear that is approximately 110m long, and is located between TF7130 4039 and TF7139 4046. The second enclosure is located to the west of the first at TF7109 4042 (centre point), its apparent dimensions are 35 x 25m. Only three sides on this enclosure can be seen (North, East and South). The North and South sides abut the boundary of a housing area (at their western ends) and therefore any fourth side that may have existed is not visible. There is a linear feature running parallel to the southern side of this enclosure, located about 10m to the south. This linear runs from TF7108 4039 to TF7111 4040, it is about 40m long and appears to be in alignment with one side of the 'L' shaped cropmark inside the other enclosure. The date and origin of these features is unknown.
