An oval depression, comparable in size with the Scratta enclosure was noticed in 1960 at SK 5428 7925. A number of worn stones were found nearby and thought to be the remains of six hut circles. A scatter of 1st - 4th century sherds was recovered from the ploughed surface (SK 5429 7926). Other finds from the field include a whetstone, bones and teeth. An Iron Age bronze coin of Gallo-Belgic E type (circa 50BC-25BC) with plain obverse and reverse of a disjointed horse found at SK 54467925. D F Allen identified it as the bronze core of a gold forgery; the gold plating having disappeared. (1) (2) (3) (4)

Mr White confirms the above but could add no further information. There is no suface indication at the given site. (5)
