What is recorded here
No visible trace remains of the circular enclosure, yet it still resists forgetting. Fields and roads cut through the space where people once drew a line around their lives. The earth forgot the shape, but the region keeps the rhythm of that boundary.
In level farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 24m). A NW-SE running field boundary cut across it from W to SSE and a NE-SW running road clipped from E to SE. No visible surface trace survives.
