Summary
Crop/soilmark: Good quality photography. Archaeological investigation during gravel extraction in 1976-80 probably exposed the north-western corner of the enclosure and associated ditches. The enclosure ditch cut several pits in a pit alignment. A small quantity of Iron Age pottery was found in one of the associated ditches.
