In level improved tillage – local mapped field boundaries and woodland have been removed. Although not recorded on the 1st ed. (1839) of the OS 6-inch map, the monument is shown on the latest ed. (1909) as a raised oval area (est. max. diams. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 45m NW-SE) defined by a scarp. No visible surface trace survives, but a 1968 aerial photograph (CUCAP AVM020) shows the cropmark of a fosse enclosing a roughly circular area, and the same cropmark is also visible on a 1990 aerial photograph by Dr. Gillian Barrett (GB90.BC.06).
Cropmark of levelled enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph and on Google Earth imagery taken 28/06/2018.
See attached image of Google Earth photographs taken 28/06/2018 which shows cropmark of the two circular enclosures based on information supplied by Anthony Murphy
