What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape. A D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google imagery from July 2013. There is an entrance gap at N, and the perimeter seems to abut, but was probably re-cut parallel with, a NNE-SSW ditch feature that was associated with a field bank that is now removed but is marked on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The enclosure was first identified by Tom Condit. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 April, 2017
