  Description

  E portion under tillage. A large bivallate curvilinear possible enclosure (overall dims. c. 190m NW-SE) visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth, 28 March 2019), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The NW-N-E perimeter of a possible enclosure is defined by a two fosses, c. 5-6m apart, the inner fosse is wider and deeper than the outer fosse. If, as seems likely, the fosse continues to form a roughly circular or oval enclosure, Park House and outbuildings occupies the SW-W portion of the enclosure.
