Situated on a slight rise in a fairly level landscape, with a small canalised W-E stream c. 100m to the N. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse is visible only on Google Earth (21/07/2021). It is slightly truncated by an E-W road bank at S, and it was first reported by Anthony Murphy. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (21/07/2021) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 September 2021
