Description
Cropmarks show a very irregular curvilinear enclosure with a possible entrance to the north-east and an apparent funnelled entrance to the south side. The site is unlike any other prehistoric enclosure, although the enclosure at TM083304 also shows signs of irregular morphology. In addition to the enclosure there also appears a possible trackway and later field boundaries. <1>-<3>
The spot find (EHER 2744) or the lower halve of a neolithic polished axe, comes from very close to the site. <1>
