Summary
To the north-west of boundary (MDV52261) was a scatter of small pits (subsheet 6) amongst which were four small postholes, of which only the bases survived. All less than 0.07m deep, 0.14m diam. May have formed an arc with radius of around 2m. No finds, but probably contemporary with nearby Prehistoric features. Projection of the arc suggests a circular structure approximately 4m diameter.
