What is recorded here
A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) identified as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (19 June 2020). There is some natural soil staining within and around the edge of the W quadrant, suggesting the ground is wetter in this area. The N-NE portion of the enclosure has been truncated by scarping along side the public road (R693).
