Summary
Possible prehistoric enclosure and hut circles identified from lidar data. Previously unrecorded, the enclosure is attached to a right angle created by field boundaries running roughly east-west and north-south across Holwell Lawn. Lies in an area later used in the Medieval period - field system and extensive areas of ridge and furrow also visible on the lidar data. Appears to be associated with three potential hut circles.
