What is recorded here
In tillage. A 390 foot [c. 120m] trigonometric station is indicated on the S perimeter of the enclosure. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m), defined by a low scarp from W-NNE and by a curving field boundary from SE-SW. Visible on satellite imagery (DigitalGlobe, imagery date 2011-2013; Google Earth; imagery date 16 March 2022), identified and reported by Stuart Elder. A field boundary running NNW-SSE runs along the E side and appears to partially truncate the edge of the enclosure. A ringfort (WA022-016----) lies c. 70m to the SW.
