Recorded monuments

• KD021-001002 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Visible on a 1971 aerial photograph (CUCAP BGH 46) as the faint cropmark of fairly narrow fosse defining a large circular area (est. diam. c. 120m) occupying the upper portion of the W end of a pasture ridge just above the flood plain at a meander in the Black River, a tributary of the Barrow, which flows around the site N-W-S. The cropmark was not visible at ground level in 1986 (SMR file), or on the present visit. A church site (KD021-001003----) and a graveyard (KD021-001004----) lie at the centre of the enclosure; all suggesting the existence of an early ecclesiastical site here (KD021-001005-).
