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 (LH022-052001-) is within a larger rectangular enclosure with curved corners that is only visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The larger enclosure (dims c. 50m NNW-SSE; c. 50m ENE-WSW) is defined by slight fosses that are not visible at the E end of the N side or the W end of the S side but at E it curves outward to include the ring-ditch (LH022-052003-) within the enclosure. The incomplete rectangular enclosure (LH022-052001-) is in the interior 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.
