Enclosure is cut by mark of removed field boundary and so predates present field layout.

Cropmarks of a possible Iron Age to Roman farmstead are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S4). The central grid reference for these cropmarks has been amended from TG 3850 0038 to TG 3851 0040. A rectangular enclosure is present with external dimensions of 84m by 76m. It is defined by a 3m wide ditch and has a possible entrance on its west side. A gap in the ditch on the south side is due to an area of different soil type preventing clear cropmark formation. Within the enclosure is a ring ditch cropmark. It has a narrow ditch and a diameter of 17m. Small gaps are present in its perimeter on the south south-east and north north-west sides. Although it is possible that this is a Bronze Age ring ditch, it is more likely that it relates to an Iron Age roundhouse. To the south-east of the possible round house is an incomplete rectangular enclosure cropmark. It measures at least 18m long by 11m wide and could relate to a structure. These possible buildings are contained within the large rectangular enclosure and are likely to belong to an Iron Age to Roman farmstead. A linear ditch cropmark extends west from the north-west corner of the enclosure and appears to be contemporary with it. Several linear ditch cropmarks of unknown and post medieval date (NHER 36506) cut across the enclosure.
