What is recorded here

In poorly drained pasture, at the base of a S-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse is visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 227-6). It is not visible at ground level. The area of the enclosure is conspicuous by having a sparse concentration of rushes in contrast to the surrounding dense concentration.
