The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP AVM 12 (1968), CUCAP BDH 71 (1970) and Barrett GB90.BT.23 (1990)) as the soilmark of a small uncultivated area forming the NE corner of a larger rectangular area (est. L c. 65m ESE-WNW; c. 45m NNE-SSW) defined by the cropmark of a fosse. Regarded locally as being a burial ground. While the field has recently been levelled, the reputed burial site is still visible at ground level as slight stony rise.
