Full Description

A sub-circular cropmark of a ditched enclosure of unknown date or function, visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2007 [1, 2] on arable land. This ditched feature has an external diameter of 31m x 16m, with the ditch ranging between 1.5m and 4m wide. The site lies within an area of similarly levelled earthworks. To the north is a golf course, which may have used an area of the field, as visible on aerial photography taken in 1946 [3]. Thus this feature may represent a golf bunker.

This site may be represented by the monument points NMR467456 and MKE6676, though the records do not contain sufficient information to determine whether this is the case.

A transcription of the feature recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
