The oval shaped feature measures approximately 33m in length by 23m in width and is located in an area where a number of similar such earthworks have been recorded as part of this survey. A number of clay pits are depicted within the vicinity here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. It is possibly the same feature that has been recorded to the southwest as MDV114110. The likely clay pit remains visible on aerial photographs of 2000.
