Description
1. Cropmark enclosure representing a fortlet or signal station defined by sub-rectangular ditches. The inner measures approximately 15m (N-S) by 10m, the outer 23m by 17m overall. Entrance on the E side. Enclosure appears to be more square than rectagular, being c.23/17m across overall, having a clearly defined NE facing entrance.
Source: Gibson 1997 (Trans. Rad. Soc. 67), 20-62: 27 fig 4.
The presence of a linear feature running E-W to the S (Nprn309414) may suggest that the enclosure was laid out in an enclosed landscape.
