Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Cropmarks were recorded in 2011 of a curvilinear enclosure approximately 45m in diameter, with a large circular enclosure, approximately 20m in diameter within the interior. There is a possible entrance to the east of the main enclosure. The enclosure is bisected by a substantial linear ditch which is thought to be a former field boundary. It is possible that these cropmarks represent a late prehistoric roundhouse within a ditched enclosure.
