What is recorded here

On a gentle SW-facing slope in undulating grassland within a broad river valley. A rectangular enclosure (dims. 12m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a bank which is well preserved along the S and W sides and the W half of the N side. The bank is particularly wide along the W side including the NW and SW angles (Wth 5m). The N bank is conjoined with a rectangular enclosure (KK003-018004-). The E quadrant appears to be open sided, with a short N-S return (L 2m) at the E end of the S wall. The N bank, however, does appear to continue eastward up to a fall of steep scarp. There is a circular enclosure (KK003-018001-) immediately to the NW; a rectangular enclosure (KK003-018006-) 3m to the S and another rectangular enclosure (KK003-018003-) above and conjoined to enclosure KK003-018004-.
