Full Description

{1} Anomaly H is a circular, or near circular linear anomaly approximately 7 m in diameter. It would appear to be associated with a discrete anomaly adjacent to a gap in the south western sector of the circle. It would seem likely that this represents a possible round house tucked into the lee of the rampart. If so it is possible to suggest that the doorway was in the south west and that the discrete anomaly may be part of the structure associated with the entrance to the round house. Less convincingly Anomaly I, forms an arc approximately 5 m in diameter which may be a second round house.
