The observation of solar energetic particle onsets within ejecta material suggests that the magnetic field topology of these ejecta is more likely to be that of a 'magnetic bottle' rooted at the Sun than that of a detached plasmoid-like structure. Another possibility is that only open field lines are present. We examine the anisotropies of particle onsets which onset inside ejecta material. A striking feature of a significant fraction of these events is that they show, at onset, strong flows from the east of the Sun, in contrast to the flows from the west usually observed at the onset of solar particle events outside of ejecta. This observation confirms that magnetic field lines can be strongly distorted inside ejecta so as to lie nearly opposite to the Parker spiral direction. This conclusion is fully consistent with the presence of looped magnetic structures in ejecta. If only open field lines are present, it is unclear how these large field line distortions could have been produced.
