Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims c. 45m ENE-WSW; c. 45m NNW-SSE) is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map c. 70m E of Collop’s Well and it is depicted as a small rectangular field (dims 40m NNW-SSE; c. 35m ENE-WSW) on the 1908 edition with a WNW-ESE field bank cutting through it close to the perimeter at N. No feature is visible at ground level in pasture and it is not visible on aerial media, but It could be a moated site. It was first reported by Catherine McLoughlin.
