This recorded enclosure was identified from an aerial photograph that shows a cropmark of a roughly circular univallate enclosure with a diameter of c. 70m. No visible surface traces survive. One test-trench, 160m x 3.5m, was mechanically excavated across the area of the enclosure. The trench was oriented in a north-west/south-east direction. The results of the test excavation indicate the survival of an enclosure ditch, a possible entrance and a number of associated archaeological features within and outside the enclosure. The results of testing confirm the diameter of the enclosure at c. 70m. A decorated bone bead was recovered from within the ditch on the north-west side of the enclosure.
