Full Description
{1} 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. Those curvilinear anomalies in the southern half of the area may reflect variations in geology or may be eaves drip gullie sof unenclosed roundhouses. If archaeological the features may be contemporary, however at least two appear to be intercutting, which could suggest they are consecutive.
Trench 54 contained a possible ditch terminus, approx aligned east-west, which did not correspond ti any of the detected features. Other features included several small pits or possible post holes.
