The Manning documentary archive mentions a 'barrow' east of Friar's Court in Clanfield.

Other features have seen been identified at Clanfield including a 'sub-rectangular enclosure', consisting of a double ditched large rectangular enclosure within which are a series of vague circular and rectangular enclosures (see aerial photograph).

Various cropmarks at Clanfield can be identified on aerial photographs taken by Major G.W.G. Allen in 1930's, some of which were also recorded by Percy Manning.
