Full Description
{2} Geophysical survey undertaken in 2021 identified a number of sub-rectangular enclosures with internal sub-divisions, annular and penannular enclosures and pits aligned north-east to south-west. The morphology of these features is different to the regular enclosures to the east which have been dated to the Roman period. It is probable that this phase dates to the Iron Age.
