Full Description
The corner of a deep-ditched enclosure, visible on LIDAR. The ditch is 8m across with curved corners. The ditch encloses a slightly raised platform estimated to be 28m across. The site has been truncated by a later woodland boundary, and partially ploughed out by arable land management. A second small square enclosure set on the same alignment sits immediately NE and a pond linked by a channel or ditch, also visible on LIDAR.
Likely to be the remains of a small homestead moat, though it could be earlier.
