Full Description
{1} Immediately inside the northern wall there is a series of sub-rectangular ditched enclosures (Fig 4, E2), which presumably ran up to the top of the steep scarp slope.
There is a kink in the central spur of road heading to the northern defences, so that the northern part of the road runs along the western side of one of the largest of these enclosures, either reflecting continuity of boundary line or the contemporary existence of the enclosure with the internal road network.
