What is recorded here
Situated on top of and on the SE-facing spine of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This enclosure is not marked on any edition of the OS maps. A large circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 170m) was identified from a LiDAR survey (pers. comm. Steve Davis). It appears to be a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 90m) defined by a fosse (Wth of base c. 10m) and outer bank (Wth c. c. 15m). There might be a large entrance at NE. It is divided by a NW-SE field bank on the spine of the ridge with a larger part of the enclosure NE of this bank.
