What is recorded here
Situated on a broad plateau in a low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDR 12), but it is not visible at ground level in pasture. It is also visible on digital aerial photographs (WX036-028_1 to _4) taken in 2006. Archaeological testing (08E0948) immediately to the NE of the encosure failed to produce any related material (McLoughlin 2011a).
