Full Description

Ditched enclosure of unknown date located in Kingsdown, visible on aerial photography taken in 1946 [1], 1982 [2] and 2007 [3, 4]. The features were visible in an arable field as soilmarks of the levelled ditch. The ditch ran roughly SW/NE, was 530m long and between 5m and 17m wide. The site lies within an area of similarly levelled earthworks.

The enclosure may be represented by the monument points NMR467455 and MKE6675 for ‘Cropmark’ 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.
