What is recorded here

Situated on reclaimed grassland. Outline of circular-shaped earthwork (diam. c. 43m) with drainage channels radiating outwards visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery taken 2011-13. Uncertain about antiquity of earthwork may be related to land reclamation channels which are visible radiating out from earthwork. Two buildings with associated garden plots depicted on this area on the first ed. OS 6-inch map. Circular-shaped earthwork may be related to these buildings and their attached boundary plots.
