What is recorded here
In pasture on the W edge of the former flood plain of the River Barrow. Visible on a 1971 aerial photograph (CUCAP BGH 54) as the cropmark of a fosse enclosing a large oval area (est. max. diam. c. 60m). In 1994, a sewage pipe trench was cut through the site. A subsequent archaeological inspection did not find archaeological material in the trench or in its profiles.
