What is recorded here

Situated at the top of a small N-S spur overlooking the W-E valley of the meandering River Nanny with the stream c. 200m to the S. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 23m; ext. diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 34m E-W) defined by two fosses was recorded on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 22/07/2021. It is also visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021), and the souterrain complex (ME028-022----) was just to the NW.
