H 0.5m) with no evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. Modern road intersects site at W destroying enclosing bank and portion of interior. Field fence intersects site at S.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
