Description
Cropmarks show the north-eastern squared end of a narrow rectangular enclosure, with ditches approximately 45m apart, running for at least 115m before disappearing into 'unresponsive' fields to the south-west. The enclosure has the attributes of a Neolithic cursus monument, but may be part of a wider system of more mundane agricultural ditches of prehistoric or historic date. No recent fields of a similar shape or in the same location are shown on nineteenth century County Series maps. Recorded during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 8th July 2009.
