Description

An iron age defensive enclosure with banks reduced by ploughing.
The enclosure is banked and ditched with a rather angular oval form, 90 metres north-south by 77 metres, and has a west-facing entrance approached by an embanked antennae feature that extends about 30 metres to the west. The banks of this last feature turn to define an outer enclosure circuit, banked and ditched, with internal subdivisions/additional rampart lines; the complex as a whole extends some 260 metres north-south by 120 metres overall, and rests on steeply wooded slopes on the south-west, with gentler slopes on the south-west & south.
