What is recorded here

Identified from an aerial photograph (Bruff Survey: Map 23, Bruff 120: AP 3719) and described by Doody (2008, 134) as an 'oval platform , c. 33m N-S, 0.7m above base of enclosing ditch (2.5m wide, c. 0.2m deep) with external bank (3m wide, 0.2m high). Site quite denuded, with the enclosing elements only visible on S, W and NW sides'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
