Full Description

Positive, sub-circular anomaly located in the centre of the field. Measures 5 m in diameter.

This anomaly may be indicative of a pit-like feature associated with mineral extraction or refuse. However, given its isolated located and lack of associated anomalies, it is highly probable this is of modern provenance.
