Details	Cropmarks of a probable unenclosed settlement recorded by CUCAP in 1964. Two circular crop-marks, which measure about 10m in diameter, probably represent the sites of houses, and there is a circle of pits of similar dimensions near by. Another house, measuring about 8m in diameter, obscures the north corner of what is possibly an enclosure measuring about 25m square. The circular arrangement of post-holes noted above could be interpreted as a house of individual post-hole construction, or, perhaps less likely, as a post-circle surviving beneath a ploughed-out barrow. Tolan notes a pit-circle partially obscured by the halo of a ditch at NO 6703 4498.
