What is recorded here

An aerial photograph (GB96.GA.27, 29 July 1996) shows a cropmark of a semicircular enclosure defined by a fosse and with a SE-facing entrance. The enclosure (diam. c. 38m NW-SE) is located on the W edge of a gravel hillock, the W edge of the enclosure being defined by the break of slope. An outer fosse runs concentrically to NE quadrant before curving towards the E and appears to be part of an associated curvilinear field system (KK014-147----) which extends to a max. of c. 80m to the NE, E and SE. A concentric enclosure (KK014-033----) is located c. 90m to the N, also overlooking the break in slope.
