Full Description
The cropmarks of an oval enclosure measuring approximately 21m east-west and 18m north-south are visible on aerial photographs (S1). This feature has been interpreted as a possible late prehistoric mortuary enclosure.

September 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
A trench placed across the site of this enclosure revealed two corresponding ditches with similar, steep-sided, ‘V’-shaped profiles. Unfortunately, dating evidence was limited to two prehistoric flint flakes and a single (potentially intrusive) fragment of post-medieval clay tobacco pipe stem.
Two other linear features identified within the interior of this enclosure were probably unrelated.
See report (S2) and NHER 65175 for further details.
