What is recorded here

On the N edge of farmyard with farm buildings standing on footprint of the enclosure. The earthwork is depicted as a raised circular-shaped area defined by a scarp on the 1838 OS 6-inch map with a building standing on the enclosing element at S. Earthwork depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a non-antiquity where it is shown as an oval-shaped area or small paddock (approx. dims. 32m NW-SE x 23m NE-SW) indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. On the revised OS 6-inch map a building is depicted standing in the centre of the earthwork. Today only the enclosing element of the monument is visible as a field boundary from W through N to E on Digital Globe taken 2011-13. On this image the interior of the possible enclosure is covered with farm buildings.
