Monument record 9623/0/4 - Undated enclosures

{1} Two rectilinear ditched enclosures were detected. The larger enclosure is c.40m square while the adjacent enclosure to the south-east is considerably smaller.

{2} A ditch and pit were revealed at the south-eastern end of the trench corresponding to the location of the cropmark. The ditch was aligned NE/SW and had a sharp V- shaped profile 0.80 m deep and 2.00 m wide. The pit was circular, near vertical sided and flat based, and substantial at 2.00 m across and 0.90 m deep. Both features contained middle Iron Age pottery Both the ditch and pit had straight well-defined sides showing little sign of erosion weathering suggesting that they were not open to the elements for prolonged periods.
