Enclosure in Broadmeadow — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Applewood now drops through its roof into Broadmeadow, hiding the circular enclosure and radiating fosses beneath modern floors. The dwelling is no longer a farm or a temple; it is a memory that has stopped answering. What was built there has been forgotten, but the shape remains under the estate, waiting for someone to stop measuring and begin listening.

A colour vertical aerial photograph taken in 1992 (OS 8, 1526) shows a cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 28m) with traces of fosses radiating from the NW and E. This is probably a levelled ringfort with associated field system. Formerly located in a field of corn in a low-lying area south of the Broadmeadow River, it is now under the Applewood housing estate.
