Full Description
{2} Near to the excavation was a causewayed enclosure and this important monument may have acted as a focal point for activity extending up to 1.1km away from it. Double posthole lines forming an avenue 3m wide and at least 60m long were undated, but a Neolithic to early Bronze Age date seems most likely.
