Description
A narrowly proportioned trapezoidal enclosure, aligned roughly east-west, can be seen on Constitutional Hill field on the north side of the B1285 to the east of Little Eppleton. A number of other cropmarks can be seen on an aerial photograph (NMR 12299 33) to the south of the 'enclosure'. These are irregular and difficult to interpret and may not be archaeological in origin.
