Full Description
{1} Geophysical survey identified a trapezoidal enclosure measuring c35m by 40m. Its perimeter is defined by a single ditch with straight sides and rounded corners and it has na entrance gap opening towards the south-west. It contains one roundhouse, 11m in diameter, with an entrance to the south-east and perhaps also three pits. The survey results suggests that this enclosure occurs in isolation, however, the weakness of the anomalies is such that the presence of nearby features cannot be ruled out.
