What is recorded here
Situated on a SW-facing slope. The parchmark in grass of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m N-S; c. 44m E-W) defined by a slight fosse or ditch (Wth c. 1m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018). It is cut by a relict ENE-WSW drain towards the edge at S, and the enclosure can also be seen faintly on OSI images (1995). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere, and it was also noted by Anthony Murphy.
