What is recorded here

In tillage. A roughly rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 30m NNE-SSW; c. 35m ESE-WNW) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère and Simon Dowling. A field boundary runs N-S through the W portion of the enclosure and the monument W of this boundary, being under a different crop, does not show up clearly as a cropmark. There is an outer fosse c. 7m from the inner fosse. There is a possible annexe (dims. C. 38m NW-SE; c. 19m NE-SW) adjoining the NE quadrant and a further curving cropmark running c. 23m northward from the NE angle of the annexe.
