What is recorded here

An irregular shaped enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph together with other features. A circular enclosure (DU011-116----) and field system (DU011-117----) are located close to the north (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). This site was subject to geophysical survey (08R117) and test excavation (09E 0466) as part of the proposed Metro North development. A possible D-shaped enclosure (30m diam.) was identified. An additional enclosure was identified 20 m to the northeast, possibly enclosing an area measuring 50 m in diameter. A figure-of-eight shaped corn drying kiln was identified directly north of a ditch feature which may have had a relationship with either enclosure (Hession 2009, 36).
