What is recorded here
Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a N-S ridge. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a fosse is separated by a berm (Wth c. 15-20m) from an outer fosse. This creates a large enclosed area (diam. c. 80m), and It is only visible on iMAPs (2022). An entrances is not detected in the inner enclosure but there may be one (Wth c. 8m) in the outer at ESE. The enclosure was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
