In wet pasture, 60m S of a field boundary running E-W. Enclosure (LI033-062002-) lies 60m to SE. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 125.03; AP 4/3631) as a sub-circular-shaped area (LI033-118----) defined by a fosse with a central circular-shaped depression (diam. c. 5m) which may be the remains of a possible ditch barrow. Not visible on OSi orthophotos taken between 2005-12 or on Google Earth orthoimages.
