What is recorded here
In low-lying grassland adjacent to a stream. Poorly preserved rectangular enclosure (39.5m E-W; N-S 32m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives at N and from S to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Traces of the outer bank survive
along the W side. A gap (Wth 4.5m) at SW may be original.
