Full Description

Oblong enclosure showing as a cropmark, c.50m long and 20m wide. The ditch is easily distinguishable along approximately two-thirds of its circuit, one long side however being heavily masked by geological features. It is possibly a plough-razed long barrow. <1> <2> <3> MPP supports the possibilty that this is a plough-razed long barrow but suggests further aerial photography as the feature currently only appear on one set of photos from 1979 <4>
