What is recorded here
The cropmarks of four enclosures in a small area (dims c. 150m N-S; x c 150m E-W) on a fairly level landscape are visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The cropmark of a W-E drain or small stream runs through the area, and another stream attaches to it from the N. This oval enclosure (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 15-20m N-S) is c. 30m N and E of the streams and is defined by a fosse (Wth c. 2m). It has an entrance (Wth c. 3m) towards the E end of the S side, and has a pit inside the perimeter at W. The enclosure (LH022-056002-) is tacked on to it at SW. Both enclosures are traversed by the cropmark of a NE-SW drain. The monuments were reported separately by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds and Anthony Murphy at about the same time.
