Full Description

Cropmarks of what appears to be a prehistoric curvilinear ditched enclosure, 54m across, are visible on aerial photographs. The enclosure lies on the same site as the two Iron Age/Roman enclosure described in records MDO21009-10 and may be an earlier Iron Age settlement enclosure, however a modern agricultural origin for the cropmarks cannot be ruled out. {1}
