Aerial photograph (GB90.BM.10) shows cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse and with an entrance facing east; linear fosses suggest an associated field system (LA035-087). A second curvilinear enclosure (LA035-086) is located in close proximity. First recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1990.
