What is recorded here

Digital Globe aerial photograph shows the cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure (approx. diam. 58m N-S) defined by a fosse. Cropmarks of plough-levelled field boundaries located 110m to SSE; chronological relationship uncertain. Some of these field boundaries are depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. These linear cropmarks may be the remains of a field system of post-1700 date.
