Full Description
{2} RAP Site 42a comprises three sides of a rectilinear enclosure covering c.0.95ha and aligned east-west, with its open end towards the east.
Geophysical survey showed that the site was considerably more complex than suggested by the cropmarks. The northern side of the enclosure was shown to be double-ditched, while the western end with a single ditch is separated from the eastern half by a double or possibly triple set of internal north-south ditches. It is uncertain whether the west end represents an addition or was original.
