Enclosure with sides c.60m in length and an east facing entrance. There are indications of a possible hut circle in the centre. (2)(3)
Iron Age or Roman square, rectilinear enclosure (56 m x 59 m) is visible as cropmarks on air photographs. There are light marks adjacent to the ditch, which suggests there maybe traces of a bank, but the cropmark was too diffuse to map. The eastern side of the enclosure has a break in the cropmark, but it is uncertain if this is an entrance. There are geological cropmarks visible within the interior of the enclosure, but none that could be identified as a round house, as suggested previously. Another rectilinear enclosure (see HER 27211) lies to the south-west (4)
