Full Description
{2} A square single ditched enclosure, 0.09ha in internal area.
A trial trench was located to investigate this feature. The only feature located was a ditch 1.3m wide and 0.35m deep, of U-shaped profile, running north west to south east. It is uncertain whether this is part of the enclosure ditch or is an internal feature. A second trench to the north contained a ditch 0.7m wide and 0.3m deep which may be the north eastern arm of the enclosure. The second ditch also contained two pits, a post hole and a ditch.
