Full Description
{1} A group of eight small sub-circular ditches were detected and are interpreted as pennanular house-gullies and other small enclosures.
{2} Linear, curvilinear and circular positive anomalies have been located, forming a pattern of likely ditched features. Several possible roundhouse gullies can be interpreted, along with ditched enclosures.
Internal elements of the enclosure included a number of curvilinear gullies, which were interpreted as the remains of round houses. A number of pits and post holes were also recorded, as well as ditches which may have formed internal elements within the enclosure.
