What is recorded here
Enclosure is a lost circular ring, seventy-five metres across, marked on maps from 1839 but levelled by 1967. It sat in open pasture near a castle, perhaps a boundary for animals or a place for gathering. Men and women may have walked its edge for generations before ploughs erased it. The land keeps the shape only in shadow and memory now.
In pasture. A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 75m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision. A field boundary is indicated running NW-SE through the centre of the monument. By 1967 the monument had been levelled as it is visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ASW033, 17 July 1967) as a cropmark. A castle (KK021-019001-) is located c. 30m to the NE and a possible trackway (KK021-019002-).
