Cropmarks have revealed a circular enclosure containing at least two pits within the SW corner of the S terminal of the cursus monument (see NX97NW 23); it measures about 20m in diameter within a very narrow mark which has the proportion of the wall trenches sometimes observed in the cropmarks of timber round-houses.

Aerial photography has revealed the cropmark of a possible enclosure within the southern terminal area of Holywood 1 cursus (NX97NW 23), 180m SSW of Holywood church hall. An arc of ditch possibly represents the W half of a circular enclosure measuring approximately 34m in diameter, with at least two internal pit features. A slightly smaller ring-ditch (NX97NW 38) has been recorded as a cropmark in the northern terminal of the cursus, and both these features lie near the cursus ditch (where the bank would probably run) and a causeway.
