What is recorded here

In tillage. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). A NE-SW running field boundary cut across it from NNE to WSW. Another field boundary, running NW-SE, cut it at W. On inspection in September 1982 no visible surface trace was noted. A kink visible on aerial imagery (Google 2019) in another field boundary running NNW-SSE to the NE of enclosure may mirror the outline of the enclosing element.
