Description
Located towards the bottom of a steep E-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by two slight fosse features (ext. dims c. 43m E-W; 40mN-S) is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There is an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) in the inner feature at E, and the outer edge on this side is largely incorporated into a mapped N-S field bank. It was first reported by Faith Bailey and it was also noted by Simon Dowling. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 20 November, 2019
