Full description
Kaye, S., 2018, Two Possible Enclosures visible on Lidar, Northlew, West Devon (Interpretation). SDV361304.
Circular cropmark visible on lidar, interpreted as an enclosure or ring ditch. The maximum diameter is circa 45 metres but the enclosing bank is showing as broad (circa 12 metres) but this is probably a consequence of earthwork flattening. There appears to be a ditch surrounding the bank.
