What is recorded here

On flat grassland with good views in all directions, no surface remains visible of any enclosure in area marked on six inch OS 6-inch map. Depicted as semi-circular-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 17m) on 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. It is depicted in more detail on the 25-inch OS map as a circular raised area surrounded by a fosse (diam. 12m). This depiction suggests the monument is a barrow, possibly a ring-barrow, but as an outer bank is not depicted it is classified as a possible ditch barrow.
