Vertical aerial photography (OS 82/162/034) has revealed the cropmarks of an oval enclosure 130m NNW of the Stead Inn, Potterton. The enclosure measures about 33m from N to S by 27m transversely within a ditch up to 3m in breadth. Within the same field there are a number of pits, at least nine of which appear to form a roughly straight alignment extending from E to W over a distance of about 87m.
