What is recorded here
Located on a low N-S ridge on land that was once demesne land of Newtown House. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 10m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) defined by wide fosses (Wth c. 2m) at SW and NW only is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. It is within the larger rectangular enclosure (LH022-052002-) and it is cut by the cropmark of an ENE-WSW field drain. The complex was reported separately by Anthony Murphy and Matthew Mullen-Reynolds around the same time.
