Description
Aerial photographs appear to show two straight sides, meeting at a fairly sharp right-angled corner, of a rectilinear enclosure, with possible entrances in each side. There are also other cropmarks in the same field, including two slightly curved linear features, one long and one short, and one quarter circle apparently inside the part enclosure.
