Full Description

A substantial sub-rectangular ditched enclosure, perhaps a moat, is visible on vertical APs in fields to the SW of Greenside Farm. The site is not accessible, but remains pasture and so the earthworks seen on APs may be expected to survive. Earthworks apparent on APs in fields to the S of the enclosure are now largely ploughed out, but substantial hollows in the surface of the ploughed field mark their former line. (1)
Morph: 152.5.1 ditch, 152.5.2 moat, 152.6.1 fispond, 152.7.1 platform, Shrunken village. (3)
See L6167 for adjacent earthworks.
