Warwick — Longbridge Roundabout on M40

A lady I was talking to today suggested there had been a circle near what is now the roundabout junction of the M40 and A46 just south west of Warwick (M40 Jn 15), but it had been buried or otherwise destroyed in the building of the junction. Grid is SP 266 625. Anyone heard of this?

suggest there's a cursus somewhere there. Maybe contact Warwickshire museum?

This is my childhood 'neck of the woods'... I haven't speifically heard of a circle here, but just a mile or so away from this roundabout lies the village of Barford where there was a large henge complex at one time. I don't think there's anything to see now.
