Full description
A large rectangular enclosure lies north-west to south-east and just north of the county boundary, and shows as slight cropmark. The southern ditch seems to continue to the west on a slightly different alignment.{1}
The continuation of the southern ditch appears to be on the alignment of a former field boundary which ran along the county boundary. {2}
The enclosure appears to have an internal division and pit features within it. {3}{4}{5}
