Description
{1} Trial trench investigation of part of a ditched enclosure. Trenches examined part of the ditch as well as areas inside and outside it. Archaeological features and finds were very sparse but the limited evidence indicated that the enclosure is later prehistoric or Roman. It is suggested that the enclosure was not a focus of habitation either inside or immediately outside it but may have been a corral for farm stock.
