Full Description
{2} Geophysical survey undertaken in 2021 identified large rectilinear enclosures and several partial enclosures as well as ring ditches within surrounding the enclosures. Discrete anomalies to the west are likely to be a group of pits/postholes. A large rectangular enclosure to the south (945/0/1) has previously been identified as a cropmark. To the north curvilinear anomalies and part of a pit alignment have been identified.
