Monument record MWX43255 - Enclosures and boundary features, Monkton - Minster Marshes
Summary
A group of earthworks, consisting of two small circular enclosures with a short bank running between them, are visible in the corner of a field on 1940s aerial photographs. They appear to have been plough-levelled by the 1960s as aerial photographs of this date show them as cropmarks. The function of these features is unclear but it is likely that they are agricultural and related to the post-medieval field layout shown on historic Ordnance Survey mapping.
