What is recorded here

Visible on as 1970 aerial photograph (CUCAP BDR 31) as the cropmark of a fosse enclosing an approximately circular area (est. max. diam. c. 40m), crossed by a possible trackway (KD005-011002-), and possibly associated with a small enclosure (KD005-010----) immediately to the N, and with a possible field-system (KD005-012----) immediately to the S. By 1985 the site had been overlain by earthen landscaping mounds (SMR file). Area is visible on a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005) and is built on with modern housing.
