Full Description

{1} At the point where two small south-west flowing streams meet in a small, shallow valley, there is a large area of permanently damp ground, above which the ridge and furrow terminates. Just south-west of the stream junction several hollow ways cross the valley and, on the north side, cut the ridge and furrow. North of the hollow ways and lying across the southernmost stream is a roughly rectangular enclosure, bounded by a low bank, with an entrance on its lower south-west side. It overlies ridge and furrow on the north.
