Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Irregular ditched enclosure, estimated 80.0m east-west, lying on a south facing slope. <1> <2>
August 1976. Field visit.
The northern cropmark appears to represent a possible ditched enclosure about 25.0m square with an entrance on the northside. It is situated on the crest of a south facing slope at present under plough. No features were seen on the ground. <3>
No enclosure could be seen on any available aerial photographs at the time of the NMP update and no enclosure had been mapped. However the cropmarks of two former field boundaries could be seen and were mapped. <4> - <6>
