What is recorded here

Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 15m; ext. diam. c. 20m) defined by a single fosse feature was recorded by Noel Meehan using a drone-mounted camera on 09/07/2018. It is bisected by a NE-SW drain feature (Wth c. 2m) and some pits are visible in the interior. The cropmark of what is probably a fairly modern quarry is c.20m to the NW, and there are other quarry-pits in the vicinity. The ring-ditch (ME051-019001-) is c. 20m to the S and ring-ditch (ME051-019002-) is c. 70m to the SW. The enclosure was also identified by Jean-Charles Caillere on Google Earth (24/06/2018), and it is also visible on Google Earth (11/06/2012; 12/07/2013) but the other features do not appear on any other media.
