Aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) has revealed the cropmark of an enclosure 550m NW of Medwyn Mains farmsteading. The enclosure is C-shaped, possibly with an open NNW side, and measures about 15-20m in diameter. There are a number of other indeterminate cropmarks in the surrounding area, the most distinctive being a crescentric mark about 10m long visible 35m to the SE, and a possible ring-ditch approximately 15m to the SE.
