Description
A stretch of bank, 7.0m across and about 1m high, to the east and north-east of Court Farm house (Nprn36715). A continuation to the west was levelled c.1970.
OS 1:2500 (1920) shows a pond, fed from the west, whose outfall (shown on OS Landline) may follow the west side of the enclosure, giving overall dimensions of about 43m by 58m, suitable for an Iron Age enclosure. The church (Nprn3023) to the north can be seen as occupying a triangular annex to the enclosure, c.42m by 43m.
