What is recorded here

Quarrying removed most of the D-shaped enclosure on the Nore river ridge, yet the reclaimed field still faces the valley where people may have stood before the gravel was taken. The lost boundary remains present in memory because the land itself was changed rather than merely forgotten.

On top of a NW-SE gravel ridge along the E side of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are fair to good views in all directions. A curvilinear enclosure, possibly D-shaped (diam. c. 60m) delimited by fosse, identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BOD029 and BOD032, 10 July 1973) with another circular enclosure (KK014-053002-) located immediately to the NW, possibly conjoined. The field has been quarried and the extent of the quarrying is visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth 20 November 2005 and 8 March 2010) which shows that both enclosures have been badly damaged and perhaps largely removed. Subsequently the quarry appears to have been filled in and the land reclaimed for agriculture (Google Earth 21 April 2019). There is another enclosure (KK014-054----) c. 50m to the SE.
