Full Description
{4} Four ring-ditches, all with east facing entrances ranging from 16m-12m in diameter. In the westernmost example, two pairs of postpits were located just inside the probable entrance. Significant deposits of pottery were recovered from terminals of two of the ring-ditches- either placed there deliberately at the time of abandonment of the structure or reflecting greater use of pottery near to the entrances during the use of the structure.
