Approximately 200 metres west of Bullock Steads lies a small rectilinear enclosure, c.50 metres in size, defined by a single ditch and containing one central circular feature, c.12-15 metres in diameter. No signs of an entrance can be distinguished on the aerial photograph and the feature appears indistinct. There are other cropmarks to the south which may be part of an associated field system. The feature appears on a photograph of 26th March 1981, but does not appear on other photographs taken in 1974 and 1991.
