Description
A rectilinear ditched enclosure is visible on aerial photogrpahs, with what appear to be 3 internal circular structures, in a rough east-west line across the site. There may also be another smaller enclosure inside, and there is a possible trackway entering from the south and then splitting into 3 to approach these internal structures.
