What is recorded here
In tillage. A large semi-circular enclosure (dims. c. 200m NE-SW; c. 117m NW-SE) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. The enclosure appears to run up to the River Barrow, though the cropmark is not visible to the N and S where there is a road running N-S through the E portion of the monument and there are trees growing between the road and the river. The monument is defined by a curving cropmark of a fosse (Wth c. 4-5) with a slighter concentric inner fosse (gap of c. 20m) and a well-defined roughly concentric outer fosse (gap of c. 20m), though the latter is not as wide as the middle fosse.
