What is recorded here

In undulating grassland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m). On inspection in April 1985, apart from a slight circular rise (diam. 38m) in the field level, no visible surface trace survived. However, its outline is clearly visible the OSI Ortho_ITM aerial photographs (last accessed 22 February 2019). A shed and silage pit have been built c. 20m to the W.
