SP 99180205 (B3).
Visible on APs. Situated on a golf course; the west ditch appears to have been utilised as a bunker. (B4)
The remains of a sub-rectangular enclosure situated on level ground astride a golf fairway on Leyhill Common. It meaures internally c 60.0m NW-SE by c 50.0m transversely, within a slight bank and outer ditch. Where best-preserved on the N side, the bank is 0.5m high and the ditch 0.3m deep, but elsewhere the arms are mutilated and reduced by landscaping or quarrying. Similar non-defensive enclosures occur in S Bucks (See TQ 09 NW 32 and 37) usually within woodland, and often associated with linear banks or baulks. The purpose is uncertain but probably concerned with arboriculture. Surveyed at 1:2500 (B5).
