Monument record 1368 - Probable Iron Age and/or Roman settlement, Burton Wold

Cropmarks of a small group of rectilinear and curvilinear enclosures identified on aerial photographs. Geophysical survey further defined the two rectilinear enclosures and identified roundhouses within each of them; there were two within the southern enclosure and just one within the northern enclosure.

{1} Report not in HER.

{2} A small group of rectilinear and curvilinear enclosures. Not directly affected by the windfarm development.

{3} Geophysical survey defined two rectilinear enclosures. Each measures 50m across and each has an entrance on the north-eastern side. The results indicate that a greater accumulation of occupation debris is present in the ditch termini. Within the enclosures there are curvilinear anomalies, each c11m in diameter, which represent sites of roundhouses. There are two within the southern enclosure and the partial remains of one in the northern enclosure.
