Full Description
ST 74852185. An apparently circular feature, 70m in diameter, with a ditch 0.3m deep and edges so splayed that it is difficult to determine its width may have been a settlement enclosure or even a circular moat, a parallel being at Folke near Sherbourne (ST 61 SE 3). Tentatively of Medieval date, low earthworks can be seen within. Adjacent is a second nearby circular feature. <1>
