Full Description
Cropmarks of an unenclosed settlement recorded by CUCAP in 1954. The crop-marks of what are probably three circular houses, measuring about 10m in diameter, have been recorded north of New Mill. There is also a circular enclosure about 15m in diameter, and at least three rectangular enclosures measuring about 15m in length by 5m broad. During early 1983 an oval ditched enclosure circa 8m by 20m was excavated. Ploughing had removed an upstanding bank, but a series of pits along the main axis survived, cut by scoops containing likely domestic debris. Debris is probably late prehistoric.
