Full Description
{1} Soilmarks of an enclosure and linear ditches. NCCAP:SP9283/004.
{2} Geophysical survey identified a grouping of anomalies covering an area approximately 55m x 50m including a likely ring ditch with associated ditches, pit-like anomalies and an area of possible burning or kiln. These features are surrounded by a cluster of discrete anomalies. A curvilinear anomaly to the north of this grouping of anomalies may be a possible enclosure ditch
