What is recorded here

In wet pasture, 75m W of a field boundary running N-S. Enclosure (LI033-062002-) lies 50m to NE. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Curvilineaer cropmark identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 125.01; AP 4/3631) as a possible enclosure. Visible as a faint cropmark truncated by a field drain running NW-SE on OSi orthophotos taken between 2005-12. Not visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 20/09/2020. Doubtful antiquity could be the remains of a watercourse rather than an archaeological enclosure. See attached Google Earth orthoimages and Bruff image showing monument labelled Bruff 125.01.
