Full Description
{1} An irregular sub-circular ditched enclosure, with a maximum dimension of c.12m. This appears to be archaeologically significant but is not associated with any other features. While its form is irregular, it would not be out of place as the site of a roundhouse of Iron Age or early Roman date. It appears isolated but there may be minor features, such as pits, nearby which are not easy to see or interpret through geophysical survey.
