Full Description

A sub-oval ditched enclosure is visible on a vertical aerial photograph taken in 1977. There is also a possible second enclosure lying to the north-northwest. In 2001 and 2004 AOC carried out an archaeological field survey in advance of a proposed wind farm development, followed by the pegging out of the site before construction. Nothing was visible during site visit in 2022 by Mott Macdonald walkover in advance of 33kV line refurbishment works (NJ64NW0147).
