Description
Castle Bucket is a sub-circular embanked and possibly ditched enclosure, 68-72m in diameter. There are entrances to the west and east, the former having an annex, c.26m by 32m, before it; a possible outer circuit, taking advantage of steep natural scarps, springs from the south of this.

Two contiguous cremation deposits, thought to be Iron Age, have been recorded 20m south of the enclosure, at the foot of steep scarps, radiocarbon dated to c.390BC (Williams 1985).
