Summary
Aerial photographs taken in 1946 show three joined, banked circular enclosures with smaller circular earthwork structures between them. These features may relate to house circles seen near to a roadside hedge on another photograph, and could be of post medieval date. A World War Two searchlight battery was also visible on aerial photographs of this area.
