Monument Number 623363
Hob Uid: 623363
Location : Essex Uttlesford Felsted
Grid Ref : TL6777019380
Summary : A circular enclosure is visible as a cropmark on air photographs at Felsted, representing a rare cropmark site on the boulder clays. Circa 50 metres in diameter, there is a possible causeway on the western side. An irregular linear feature apparently runs off to the east. The site has been considered a possible henge, although more recent discussion seems to favour a Late Bronze Age date by comparison with other circular enclosures in Essex such as those at Mucking and Springfield Lyons.
