What is recorded here
Tubbrid Lower holds a broken circular enclosure whose fosse still shadows the tillage, marked by two roads that cut across its southern quadrants. The land has worn the stone and soil into a ghost arc, yet the shape resists forgetting because nearby ringforts and enclosures repeat the same human claim. Perhaps families lived inside the circle before roads and quarry took its edges, leaving only a curve for hunger and memory to complete.
In tillage. An arc of a possible circular enclosure (chord L c. 37m; chord H 15m) visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 28 June 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling and Jean-Charles Caillère. The fosse is visible from WSW-N-NE. The enclosure may be truncated by a road running NW-SE along the SW quadrant and another road running NE-SW along the SE quadrant. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS map there is a small quarry at the junction of the two road, within the interior of the enclosure. There is a ringfort (KK012-036----) c. 140m to the NNE and there are other ringforts and enclosures in the vicinity.
