What is recorded here

Located on a level landscape. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 75m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) defined by single fosse features and with straight sides at NW and SE is visible on Bing images (2013). It was first noted by Donal Lucy and is divided across the middle by another ditch feature while there may be an entrance gap on the SW side of the NW paddock. A small ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m) is in the SE enclosure, and it is cut slightly by the cropmark of a modern NE-SW drain. The ring-ditch (ME050-031----) is c. 250m to the N. A gradiometer survey (17R0075) by Earthsound confirmed the presence of this feature and identified some other anomalies, but the monument will be preserved in situ.
