Cropmarks comprising an unenclosed settlement and rectilinear enclosure of prehistoric date. The settlement has two main elements: seven roundhouses and a large rectilinear enclosure, as well as other features including linear ditches, small curved features associated with the roundhouses and pits. The roundhouses are represented by dark areas on aerial photography, indicating construction and occupational deposits. The roundhouses measure between 13m and 19m in diameter and are set out in two roughly parallel, northeast to southwest alignments. In close proximity to four of these houses are a further four smaller, curved features, likely associated with occupation and wider activity at the settlement. Around 15m to the southeast of this group of houses is a large sub-rectangular enclosure, measuring 60m by 50m. The enclosure has roughly parallel sides, however, it’s northeastern side is significantly longer. Two breaks in the west-northwest and east-southeast of the circuit of the enclosure may represent the position of entrances. Within the enclosure and to its southwestern side there is visible evidence of three pits. Linear features interpreted as ditches are also visible in aerial photography running across the monument in a northeast to southwest alignment. Recorded initially by the RCAHMS in 1983 and subsequently over several years.
