What is recorded here

Within interior of enclosure (TS066-079----), off-centre to N. A ditch barrow (TS066-079002-) is located just within the N sector of the enclosure. A circular area (dims. 5.8m N-S; 5.4m E-W) defined by the remains of a fosse (Wth 3.0m; D 0.2m) disturbed by two wide lazy beds, running NW-SE, which truncate the monument and give it a sunken appearance. The interior is c. 0.1m lower than the exterior and is disturbed by the lazy beds. It is visible on an aerial photograph (ref. OS 2437/6) as a roughly circular anomaly.
