Located on a slightly raised SE-NE spur in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 42m N-S; c. 42m E-W) defined by a fosse that is largely missing NE-SE (L c. 25m) is visible on Google Earth (23/03/2022). It is also visible as a plough feature on Google Earth (20/03/2018) and is presents as a cropmark on Apple Maps where a slighter outer drain can be also seen but the perimeter is absent NE-SE. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (23/03/2022) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 January 2023
