Discovered alongside a moated site (CW008-064----) and a ring-ditch (CW008-065----), during test excavation in advance of a hotel development (Excavation Licence No. 05E0452). Excavation revealed a trivallate ringfort with ditches (Wth c. 2-2.5m) spaced 3.5-4.5m apart and their fills containing considerable quantities of animal bone. The outer ditch was cut by the moated site (CW008-064----).Only a small portion was excavated the rest was preserved in-situ beneath the golf course. (Stafford 2008, 20)
