What is recorded here
Located on a low N-S ridge on land that was once demesne land of Newtown House. The cropmark of a small enclosure (int. diam. c. 5m) defined by a slight fosse or ditch with an entrance at N is visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. It may have a pit at the centre, and it is within the E boundary of the large rectangular enclosure (LH022-052001-) which swings E to avoid it. The complex was reported separately by Anthony Murphy and Matthew Mullen-Reynolds around the same time.
