What is recorded here

Situated on a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 45m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse or drain is visible on Aerial Premium (2013-18). There are traces of an outer fosse SW-NNW and E-SE. The straight side at SW is part of a straight NW-SW field drain. The drain is part of a post-medieval field system of large fields that is not marked on any map but the enclosure could be older. The enclosure is also faintly visible on Google Earth (24/03/2017, 07/05/2017; 16/05/2018). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére. See the attached enhanced view from Aerial Premium (2103-18) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 February 2022
