Full Description
The remains of a semi-circular enclosure partially defined by current field boundaries and the road to the south which surrounds a small house. The feature has been noted because of its possible association with a medieval/post medieval farmstead enclosure common to this area. To the north and west are the remains of the water meadows associated with the Post Medieval farmstead of Lower Court Farm. The enclosure was seen as an earthwork and mapped from aerial photographs. [1] Possibly associated with quarry MSO10082 to the south.
