Full Description
{1} Geophysical survey undertaken in 2025 identified two isolated rectilinear enclosures measuring 17m and 35m wide. Both enclosures appear to have entrances in their northern sides, although the entrance of the larger enclosure appears to have been blocked by a large pit. Other possible ditches may also have been detected. It is possible these enclosures are associated with a site 180m to the north.
