What is recorded here
Located on the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge on land that was once demesne land of Newtown House. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a single fosse feature is faintly visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. It is bisected by a N-S field drain and is c. 40m E of the large rectangular enclosure (LH022-052001-). It was reported separately by Anthony Murphy and Matthew Mullen-Reynolds around the same time.
