What is recorded here

In rough partially reclaimed pasture, to the S of a modern coniferous plantation. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified as a circular cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 75; AP 5/2109). Monument visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 6m) on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. The monument is intersected at E by a linear cropmark running NE-SW (L. 107m) which is probably the remains of a drainage ditch. See attached Bruff survey image showing cropmark labelled Bruff 75 and Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 30 June 2021
