Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere. In level tillage and visible on MapGenie, black and white, aerial imagery (1995) as a circular area (diam. c. 55m N-S) defined by the faint cropmark of a wide fosse (Wth c. 3-4m). The enclosure appears truncated between NE and S, with the fosse traceable S-W-NE. Also visible are faint traces of a second, narrower outer fosse (c. 5m outside) at SW. A high tension cable pole stands in the NE sector. These features are also visible in more recent Google Earth aerial imagery, 28-6-2018.
