Approximately one-third of a circular structure, possibly a Bronze Age round house, was uncovered during topsoil-stripping at this development site. It measured c. 5m in diameter, while the ditch measured between 0.2m and 0.32m wide and between 0.14m and 0.28m deep. The remainder of the structure extended beyond the limits of excavation.
