Cropmark of roughly circular-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 30m) visible on Google Earth aerial photograph taken 28/06/2018. The cropmark may be the remains of an old quarry or pond partially filled in rather than an archaeological enclosure. On Digital Globe the cropmark has the appearance of a filled in pond or quarry rather than an enclosure.
