Full Description
Three adjacent square ditched enclosures were found to the south-east of a late Iron Age settlement site. They were similar in form and size and were found to contain small quantities of late Iron Age pottery and a few fragments of residual Bronze Age pottery. There were bounded to the north and west by further ditch segments. A ritual interpretation was made, based on similar arrangements of enclosures elsewhere, which are sometimes associated with cremation burial cemeteries. (1)
