What is recorded here

Indicated was a circular, tree-filled enclosure about thirty metres across, set on a gentle rise between an eastern enclosure and a western ringfort. It may have belonged to Runnamead House, serving as a decorative marker or private garden feature rather than a defensive site. The trees are gone and the ground has forgotten the shape, leaving only a straight line of forgotten purpose cutting across the field.

On a gentle rise in former demesne land. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular tree-filled enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives. There is an enclosure (GA061-064----) 100m to ENE, while a ringfort (GA061-065----) lies 100m to WSW. The site's location, in a straight line between the enclosure and ringfort, might suggest a landscape feature associated with Runnamead House to E.
