Monument record MWX43346 - Enclosure and boundary feature, Ash Levels
Summary
A small circular enclosure and a short bank are visible as earthworks on 1940s aerial photographs. The enclosure measures 12m in diameter and is defined by a ditch. The bank lies 7m north of the enclosure; it is aligned c.W-E and a total length of 30m is visible. The function of the enclosure and bank is unclear but they are likely to be agricultural in origin and medieval or post-medieval in date. Examination of modern aerial photographs indicates that they still exist as earthworks.
