What is recorded here

A rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 112m NNW-SSE; c. 135m WSW-ENE) visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 28 June 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. The enclosure, probably a small field, appears to be within a larger rectilinear enclosure, also visible as a cropmark though not on the same alignment, running northwestward for c. 190m from the NE angle of the rectangular enclosure, before turning southwestward, this length is clearly visible for c. 134m before becoming more faint.
