Part of a possible small undated enclosure is visible as earthworks on aerial photographs (S1). The features could instead be drainage ditches of relatively recent date; short linear drainage ditches are visible along the field boundary forming the eastern side of the site on the same aerial photographs, and these appear to be of recent origin. Visualised lidar data (S2), from a survey flown in 2017, shows that the earthworks have been levelled.
