What is recorded here
Located on a fairly level landscape that was once demesne land of Newtown House. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 45m NE-SW; c. 30m NNW-SSE) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 3m) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The fosse can be seen only from NE-S-W but the rest of the perimeter is probably incorporated into a boundary with woodland bordering the old demesne. The narrower internal cropmark of a linear ditch is inside the fosse as straight sections at SE (L c. 22m) and S (L c. 20m). It was first reported by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds.
