Monument record 2148/3/3 - Late Iron Age round house (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation) checked

Crop/soilmark: Good quality photography

{3} Two penannular gullies with internal post-settings. The gullies were neither quite circular not concentric but defined an area of c.15m diameter with an entrance way of 4.5m wide to the south east. The gullies cross each other in their alignment but no relationship between them could be seen. Internally, two majot post holes with stone packing faced the entrance and appeared to be entrance posts or porch posts. Several other minor post or stakeholes were found. Finds from the lower fills were pre-Belgic and from the upper fills were Belgic.
