Full Description

{2} Enclosures and linear ditch (SP 568355) in the NW of the parish on Great Oolite Limestone at 129 m. above OD. Air photographs (NCAU) show a small trapezoidal enclosure only 20 m. wide apparently lying within a larger enclosure of similar shape and about 0.5 m. hectare in extent. The larger enclosure is very indistinct. Both enclosures appear to be intersected by a linear ditch running E-W and traceable for almost 400 m.
