A massive inferiority complex!
I reckon if I found another 3 or 4 causewayed enclosures in a similar ahem style, I might be able to get a PhD studying the rest...

As the marvellous poem goes

They bide their time in serpentine green lanes;
in fields with railings around them;
some on hills, some near lochs;
long barrows look like fannies;
some enclosures look like cocks.

From Rev. Audrey Slopingbottom 1821
'The Ancient Byways and Cock shapes of the British Isles'
