Summary
Aerial photographs taken in 1976 show the cropmarks of a large ring ditch and an overlying horseshoe-shaped enclosure at this location. It is possible that the horseshoe-shaped enclosure here is modern and relates to a building seen on a 1957 map. Subsequent photographs taken in 1996 show these cropmarks to be still visible and interpreted them as the remnants of removed fields and tracks of probably medieval/post medieval date.
