Notes

"The circular ditched crop mark sits at the end of a natural grassy promontory that appears to be surrounded by two linear earthworks, giving it a view over the marshes to the north-east. The grid reference is 809784. From the measurements, it appears that it is almost a perfect circle. The ditch is unbroken."

"Measurements
North to South (From outer edges of the crop mark ring) - 7 metres 50 cm
North to South (From inner edges of the crop mark ring) - 4 metres 70 cm
East to West (From outer edges of crop mark ring) - 7 metres 80 cm
East to West (From inner edges of crop mark ring) - c.5 metres"
