What is recorded here

Located on a south facing slope with an open field tillage west of Springfield House. An aerial photograph taken in 1992 (OS 8:7636) shows cropmark evidence for a single-ditched enclosure. It is also visible on Bing aerial (viewed 28 January 2015). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R0326) of the site was undertaken in advance of a proposed road realignment. A fragmented sub-circular enclosure measuring 39m in diameter with a probable entranceway to the east was identified. Several pit like responses suggestive of occupation were identified within the interior. Interpreted as a plough-damaged ringfort.
