Cropmarks of a rectilinear enclosure are visible on CUCAP aerial photographs from 1951 (S2) and NLA images from 1990 (S3). The site has previously been dated to sometime between the end of the third century BC and the mid-1st century AD through fragments of Late Iron Age and Romano-British pottery found during excavation.
The site is centred at [1] and is approximately 70m by 80m in size. There appears to be an entrance in both the western and eastern sides; the western one located at [2] and the eastern one at [3].
(The rectification of this site was difficult due to the lack of control on all the available photographs. As a result the plot location is an approximation, the accuracy is not certain.)
