Description
Plan Form - CURVED
IN W PART OF SITE A PAIR OF PARALLEL INTERRUPTED DITCHES WITH A 3RD SIMILAR TO W: LIKELY TO BE A NEOLITHIC CAUSEWAYED ENCLOSURE. ON GROUND MUCH WORKED FLINT (01:001) HERE, WHICH IS ON HIGHER GROUND THAN REST OF FIELD. 1:2500 AP PLOT (B2-3).
TRENCHING DID NOT FIND S SIDE OF ENCLOSURE, THOUGH NEOLITHIC FLINTS FOUND (B4).
