Two conjoined subsquare banked enclosures (18m by 17m across) are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 in the vicinity of Harts Farm, Horton. They are considered to be post medieval or early 20th century in date although an earlier Medieval origin is possible. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Stour NMP.
