Summary

A possible small rectilinear enclosure of unknown date is partially visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. Like other, similar enclosures recorded in the surrounding area, it may be of post-medieval date and related to warrening. At the same time, the feature visible on the lidar is very insubstantial and may be of non-archaeological origin.

A possible small rectilinear enclosure is partially visible as an earthwork on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S1). Like other, similar enclosures mapped in the area, it may be of post-medieval date and associated with warrening. At the same time, the feature visible on the lidar is very insubstantial and may be of non-archaeological origin. A second, more substantial enclosure, NHER 62009, has been recorded 80m to the east.
