What is recorded here

Situated on a WNW-ESE section of a low ridge on land that was once part of the demesne of Corballis House, it was first identified on an oblique aerial photograph (GB91.ED.28). This is an oval enclosure (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by a narrow fosse which widens (max. Wth c. 1m) around the entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at ESE. It is visible on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. An internal enclosure (int. diam. c. 6m) is inside the fosse at WNW is backing onto it, and there is a small ring-ditch (ME069001-) c. 10m outside the enclosure to the NW.
