Crop marks thought to relate to a double ditched enclosure, identified on Lidar.

Widest diameter, east to west, of internal area is 72 metres. Enclosing inner bank is 9 - 10 metres wide. This is followed outwards by an apparent ditch some 5 - 6 metres wide. Outboard of the ditch is a further raised enclosing feature which may be a secondary bank/rampart.

There are hints, especially through the second bank/rampart, of a gateway to the north. There are two raised features to the north of this supposed gateway - not sure what they are. The one to the west is almost circular, while the eastern is elongated.

The strong, dark, E-W line immediately to the north of the enclosure is due to the merging of different lidar datasets.
