  • None recorded

Full Description

Large round earthwork showing on an aerial photograph. Inspection by C Hart on the 10th April 1978 suggests it was produced by agricultural procedures (i.e. using a circular feeding technique). (1). The 'enclosure-like' ring on the aerial photograph is almost certainly the fortuitous product of modern ploughing. (3).
