Full description
Royal Air Force, 1946 - 1949, Royal Air Force Aerial Photographs (Aerial Photograph). SDV342938.
Part of a curvilinear earthwork ditch is visible within an otherwise wooded area.

A roughly circular earthwork ditch is visible, approximately 50 metres in diameter. Its form is consistent with an interpretation as a later-prehistoric enclosure, but it could be more recent. An alternative explanation is that it could be an animal pound.
