What is recorded here

Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as the S-SW arc of an enclosure (chord c. 37m; overall diam. c. 45m). On the 1948 revision of the OS 6-inch map the arc has been incorporated in a field boundary, the curve being retained. Satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, 2011-2013) shows that the field boundary and arc have been levelled and are visible as a cropmark.
