More information : SU 0297 1056. A sub-rectangular enclosure is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs and has been mapped by EH's Knowlton Circles Project. The feature is defined by a single ditch 27.7m x 23.2m with gaps, possibly representing entrances, at the eastern corner and in the northern end. The construction of the enclosure's southeastern end appears to respect the location of a small round barrow (SU 01 SW 192).
The form of this enclosure strongly suggests a Neolithic mortuary enclosure, although its location within the Knowlton Circles Barrow Group may indicate a later date. The enclosure was formerly described as SU 01 SW 52, enclosure 23. (1-3) |
