Cropmarks about 110m WSW of the Dowery House, Vogrie, reveal what may be the SW portion of a subrectangular ditched enclosure with an outer ditch defining an annexe 20m deep on the NW. Consideration of the ground lying to the NE, now within the policies of the Dowery House, suggests that the main enclosure may have measured up to 100m from NE to SW by a maximum of 60m transversely. There is an entrance in the NW side immediately SW of its junction with the presumed annexe.
