Ancient Village or Settlement in Cornwall

I spotted this site while i was looking around on Lidar, I then looked on Heritage Gateway and saw that the site had already been spotted, They have this to say about the site - In a field just north of Newham Barton, a sub-rectangular enclosure approx 50m by 54m is visible as a soil mark bank on aerial photographs and was plotted as part of the NMP. Its appearance and size could well suggest this to be the remains of an Iron Age/Romano-British round.
