The second feature, further to the south, appears from the air photograph to be a possible sub-rectangular enclosure about 90.0m by 55.0m lying across a south-west facing slope under plough. No trace of it was found on the ground nor have any finds been reported from the area. <3> <4>
Nothing mapped for the NMP and the aerial photographs could not be located for the NMP update. There was nothing visible on any of the available APs. <5>
