What is recorded here

A circular enclosure (diam. c. 34m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1947 revision. Most of the E portion of the enclosure lies within a fallow rectangular area (dims. c. 36m NW-SE; c. 32m NE-SW). Satellite imagery (Apple Maps) shows the perimeter of the portion of the enclosure within the rectangular field as an upstanding bank while the W and N perimeter is visible as the cropmark of a fosse. Also visible to the NE and SW, though not from W-N-NE, is a possible outer fosse, c. 20m from the inner enclosing element, which suggests that this may be a concentric enclosure.
