Full Description
The potential site of a curvilinear banked enclosure is visible as low earthworks on aerial photographs to the east of St Lukes Farm. It appears to be 197m across with an inner rectilinear ditched enclosure, 107m by 92m in size. The features are of uncertain origin, they appear to underlie the modern field pattern and may be prehistoric in date although a natural origin cannot be ruled out. {1}
