What is recorded here

On a low sand and gravel ridge. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 37m NE-SW; c. 34m NW-SE). On inspection in May 1986 no visible surface trace survived. According to the landowner, the area was quarried out c. 1960 and as a result the ground level had been lowered by several metres. A house has since been built on the site. Possibly a ringfort.
