What is recorded here

Adjacent to a 341ft (104m) trigonometrical station on the 6-inch OS map, in pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 34m N-S; c. 32m E-W), defined by a fosse and outer bank, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The fosse is less clear in the E and W sectors and the outer bank is only apparent from NW-N-NE. Also visible on the satellite imagery are two water-logged depressions (diam. c. 10m) immediately to the W and SE and another c. 20m to the NNW. An enclosure (TS067-082-----) is located in a conifer plantation c. 130m to the W. See attached: TS067-141----_01 Google Earth satellite imagery, date 20 January 2020 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 2 February 2022
