Full Description

An Iron Age /Roman double ditched enclosure, a potential annexe enclosure and a ditch are visible as cropmarks on air photographs, centred at SK5787 8783.

The double ditched enclosure has an incompletely visible circuit and is sub-rectangular in form. The outer ditch is visible along the west and east sides of the inner enclosure from which it is separated by a gap of approximately 4m.

This enclosure measures 37m by 61m. A short section of its east side appears narrower than the rest suggesting potential recutting and phasing.

Conjoined to the outer ditch, at SK 5789 8785 there is a sub-rectangular enclosure. This has an intermittently visible circuit and measures 24m by 48m.

To the north-east, there is a linear ditch. This is 'L shaped' in plan and lies on a north-west south-east alignment. (1)(2)
