22/02/1993 (SX 5707 6525) Post-medieval animal pound attached to agglomerate enclosure forming part of an Prehistoric settlement. It is composed of rubble walling, 1.2m wide and 0.4m high, defining a "D" shaped sub-rectangular interior area measuring 8m long by 8m wide. It is possible that this structure is a stone hut circle, although a later date seems more plausible.
