Description
Partial sub-rectangular cropmark identified from aerial reconnaissance on 30th July 2015. It has the appearance of an Iron Age or possible Romano-British enclosure. However the feature lies c.400m north of Dyffryn House (NPRN: 18592) and c.100m north of Dyffryn House garden cropmark feature (NPRN: 415558) also identified from aerial photography on the same date. The proximity to, and alignment with, Dyffryn House and gardens suggests that this cropmark may be a post-medieval garden feature.
