What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a low-lying landscape with a small SW-NE stream c. 50m to the NW. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 23m N-S; c. 21m E-W) defined by a fosse is visible only on an Aerial Premium image (2013-18). An outer fosse c. 4-6m distant is visible W-N-E and this fosse is attached to the inner fosse at either end, forming a small annexe. The cropmarks of two ditches extend E (L c. 70m) and ESE (L c. 50m) from the enclosure at E where there might be an entrance, diverging as they proceed rather like an avenue. The monument was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
