What is recorded here
Two-Pot-House holds a tiny ten-metre ring-ditch beside a larger ringfort, connected by straight cropmarks that cut across the land like forgotten roads. The small circle may have served as a kitchen, shrine or prison for the fort, yet no written account survives to confirm its purpose. Aerial photography revealed the ditch only in 1970, suggesting the earth concealed the arrangement long before instruments lifted it into view.
Cropmark of fosse of small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) visible in aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDS13, July 1970). Linear cropmark (L c. 30m) extends NW from enclosure to edge of outer fosse of ringfort (CO025-011---). Second similar cropmark at right angles extends to NE. Circular enclosure (CO025-14601-) c. 10m to S.
