Type and Period
Description
Cropmarks of a possible rectangular enclosure 121m by at least 93m, but a modern trackway truncates the north side of the cropmark. No entrances or internal features are visible on the available photography.
67m to the south-east of the enclosure is the cropmark of a small ring-ditch which could be a possible round barrow 11m in diameter.
This cropmark site is right next to the course of a Roman road, but is on a slightly different orientation which suggests that it is not contemporary with the road and the shape of the enclosure could suggest it being Iron Age.
Other features visible are possible field boundaries, although none are on the 1st edition OS mapping. <1>
