Description
An unusual polygonal enclosure discovered during Royal Commission aerial reconnaissance on 17 July 2018, of which only the western part is showing clearly as a cropmark. The enclosure is rectangular but the western side as an unusual apsidal bulge or addition. The complete cropmark is not showing well enough to clarify the overall morphology. The enclosure is one of four cropmark enclosures clustered together to the east of Paviland Manor. It was discovered during the 2018 drought as part of Royal Commission aerial survey on 17 July 2018.
