Summary

A group of enclosures associated with a longhouse including a subrectangular enclosed area measuring 14 metres by 10 metres defined by 2 metre wide and 0.6 metre high bank and a length of curving boundary wall. The subrectangular enclosure may surround the site of an outbuilding which now survives as a buried feature and the curving bank is probably enclosing the farmyard associated with the nearby long house.
