Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Map

Type and Period (1)

  • ROUND HOUSE (DOMESTIC) (Early Iron Age to Late Iron Age - 700 BC? to 42 AD?)

Description

Despite the ridge and furrow there are indications of a number of possible prehistoric anomalies within the interior. These are mostly towards the margins and most common in the northern half of the site. The majority are circular - possible round houses - ranging in diameter from 9 - 16 metres. The most obvious are clustered in the NE quadrant. A few additional circular anomalies suggest themselves in other areas, but data confidence in these is low (B18).
