Full Description
A sub oval enclosure, 50m by 40m in size, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. A small curvilinear enclosure, possibly a round house lies immediately to the south-east of the larger enclosure. Both features are considered likely to be Iron Age/RB in date and are associated with a complex of rectilinear enclosures. These features probably a settlement site and appear to be contemporary with the field system described in MDO20846. The site is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. {1}
