More information : The site, centred at TF 0910 1138, has several phases of overlapping
archaeological features, including trackways, enclosures and hut
circles, interpreted as a Prehistoric or Roman settlement. There are
several straight and curvilinear trackways, possibly of more than one
phase, centred at TF 0920 1124. One branch trends E-W, between
TF 0898 1111 and TF 0954 1145, where at its eastern end is a villa
site, described in record TF 01 SE 4.
South of this trackway is a group of ditched enclosures,
approximately 50m by 60m, centred at TF 0924 1116. NW of the trackway is a group of enclosures, centred at TF 0902 1132 which are variable in their size and shape.
There are several circular ditched enclosures, 7-8m in diameter,
randomly scattered throughout this area, which are interpreted as
hut circles, one at TF 0912 1131 is double ditched. A further four
small enclosures, 5m across, are square with rounded corners.
More enclosures, 20m by 30m, extend northwards in the form of a
`ladder settlement', centred at TF 0906 1148, and extending to
TF 0906 1183. To the west of these enclosures and parallel to them is
a group of six square ditched enclosures, 8m by 8m, centred at TF 0899 1147.
