Description

Cropmarks of a possible prehistoric enclosure, curvilinear in shape with no apparent entrances, measuring approximately 70m across. There is a further internal feature which, while is not complete could possibly be a roundhouse. A long linear cropmark crosses the enclosure, and it is thought that this might represent a field boundary, although there are none marked on the 1st edition OS mapping. <1> - <2>
