Cropmark of square enclosure still visible, this feature could be interpreted as an Iron Age square barrow.
In addition to this feature is a circular feature at TG 2255 2589, this appears to be a slightly oval ring ditch, with a causeway to the south. This may be Bronze Age in date. Also to the north is an irregular rectilinear enclosure, the ditches of which are quite poorly defined. This feature is centred at TG 2245 2593.

Sections of a possible undated rectilinear enclosure can be seen as cropmarks on aerial photographs (S2-S3). The ditch features can be seen faintly in amongst a dense area of geological cropmarks. The date of the possible enclosure is unclear and its possible that the features may be natural in origin. The sections of possible rectilinear enclosure have been mapped by extent as they only appear faintly on the aerial photographs and the archaeological origin of the features is uncertain. The monument polygon has been updated to the extent of the possible undated rectilinear enclosure as seen on S2-S3.
