Description
An archaeological reconnaissance was undertaken in November 1989. A large circular or sub-circular moated earthwork up to c 42 m in internal diameter was recorded at SP 60576174. An internal bank survives intermittently and is preserved to a maximum height of 0.75 m. The general form of the enclosure could be consistent with it having a pre-woodland origin, potentially as early as the Iron Age. An undated bank and ditch were noted as being particularly well preserved along the western perimeter of the wood.
