There is no ground surface evidence of the oval and rectangular enclosures, visible on AP, which occupy a moderately steep S-facing hill-slope. At SP 04552389 there is a surface quarry-pit. The area was under burnt stubble at time of field visit; no surface finds were made. Two probably Prehistoric settlement enclosures are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The site comprises an oval enclosure and a less well defined rectilinear enclosure situated 48m to its north. The southernmost enclosure is oval and is centred at SP 0451 2391. It comprises a curvilinear ditch, with a possible entrance on the western side, which encloses an area measuring 51m by 45m. A possible rectilinear enclosure is situated 48m to the north, centred at SP 0453 2400. It is suggested by sinuous ditches which comprise its north, west and southern sides and measures 38m by circa 33m. It is orientated roughly north-east / south-west. The rectilinear enclosure comprises a less well defined cropmark on photographs taken in 1967. A ditch forms a small V-shape centred at SP 0454 2389. The settlements could be associated with Roel camp (SP 02 SW 6 / UID: 327968) which is situated 400m to the north and may be contemporary. {Source Work 4249.} |
