Multivallate enclosure

On a low rise. Subcircular grass-covered platform (diam. 26.5m N-S; 24.5m E-W; H 0.45-0.7m) defined by three rush-covered fosses and three grass-covered outer banks, of which only the outermost has bushes. The inner fosse (Wth of base 3.5-3.9m; ext. D 0.6-1m) is separated by a bank (Wth 3.5-4.8m; H 0.8-1.4m) from the middle fosse (Wth of base 3.9-4.7m). This fosse is separated by the middle bank (Wth 3.5-5m; H 0.8-1.2m) from the outer fosse (Wth of base 4-4.6m; ext. D 0.5-1.25m). The outer bank (at W: Wth 3.2m; ext. H 0.8m; at E: Wth 5.5m; ext. H 1.2m) which survives SW-NW and ENE-E. The outer bank is incorporated into a field bank SE-SW, and this field bank is also built in the outer fosse SW-NW. There are gaps (Wth 3.5-4m) in the banks at E (max. ext. diam. 78m E-W). See the attached aerial view taken from the W. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
