Full Description

{1, 2} Clear earthworks of a rectangular enclosure and central mound are visible on lidar imagery, but not identifiable on aerial photography. The enclosure is c55m long and 45m wide with the long axis aligned approximately east-west. Its relationship with the surrounding ridge and furrow earthworks is uncertain since the ridge and furrow is very degraded.. However, this enclosure may be associated with a similar feature c350m to the north-west and that appears to truncate the ridge and furrow.
