First identified from aerial photography taken in October 1969, and confirmed again in a later overflight in August 2000, this enclosure at Friarsfield survives as one of those quiet agricultural features that farming has reduced almost to nothing while somehow failing to erase entirely.

The enclosure measures roughly 26 metres north to south and 22 metres east to west. What defines it is a combination of three features: a scarp, which is essentially a low earthen step or cut edge; a fosse, the term for a ditch, here about 5.7 metres wide but only 10 centimetres deep; and the very faint remains of a possible outer bank that runs from the south-east around to the west and reappears briefly at the north-north-west. These are modest dimensions by any measure, and the scarp rises only 15 centimetres above the surrounding ground. The fosse itself is interrupted and obscured at the north-north-east where a dry, sinuous field drain cuts across it, running roughly north-west to south-east, blurring the boundary at precisely the point where it would otherwise be clearest. Despite all of this, the western side of the enclosure preserves a causewayed entrance, a deliberate gap left in the surrounding earthwork to allow access, here about 6 metres wide. That a formal entrance survives at all, in pasture that has clearly been improved and worked over many generations, says something about how tenaciously these slight earthworks can persist when the land around them is not ploughed.
