An irregular enclosure consisted of a curvilinear ditch aligned north-south curving to the south-east towards the south and 22.92m long; it was 0.6m wide and 0.41m deep on average. This formed an irregular enclosed area 19.8m north-east to south-west and 24.8m north-west to south-east. It uses part of the northern side of another enclosure (Enclosure 2), with gaps that are typical of stock management. The curvilinear ditch was later (in the middle to late Bronze Age) re cut/ replaced by an 'L'-shaped ditch G5002, 9.5m long. This averaged 0.84m wide and 0.35m deep, with a maximum width of 1.19m. This feature perhaps represented an expansion of the enclosed area. Seven ditch segments formed a fragmented set of internal divides within the enclosure that were aligned north-east to south-west. Most of the ditched contained similar uniform fills of clay silt, all fairly sterile apart from a few sherds of mid to late Bronze Age pottery, a few worked flint flakes, including some possibly Neolithic flint flakes and traces of grain, hazel nut shell, oyster shell, mussel shell and charcoal. However, there was a single deposit of mammal bone which included cattle and sheep or goat crania and articulated horse foot bones with a high concentration of carbonised material, this possibly comprising some form of ritualised deposition, particularly as it was associated with 23 struck flakes and three cores.

Both enclosures 1 and 2, particularly the latter seem to be intimately connected with the surrounding fields and drove ways Enclosure 1 may therefore have originally been a large enclosure or corral for the handling of stock, only later becoming a focus of occupation; the funnelling ‘antennae ditches’ and its internal short ditch sections, clustered near the entrance and forming small enclosures with multiple entrances and exits were very likely associated with close stock handling.

The settlement evidence within Enclosure 1 was concentrated in a relatively small area less than 20m across in its north-western corner, mostly consisted of shallow pits of various sizes and a few post-holes that may comprise part of a fence line. One structure consisted of three intercutting features that were just outside the enclosure adjacent to the eastern terminal of its north ditch G5004 and consisted of two adjacent small circular pits with an average diameter of 0.3m and a depth of 0.14m with steep-sided profiles. The physical relationships between these features suggest that they formed a single two post structure that had later been robbed. Very little material was recovered from these features. A series of smaller pits (0.32 to 1.2m wide and between 0.15 and 0.24m deep) had similar generally sterile clay fills and flat-bottomed and shallow-sided profiles. Of these, two cut the network of internal ditches discussed above that together formed a distinctive semi-enclosed unit with projecting arms within the main enclosure. A group of Slightly larger subrectangular or sub-circular features were recorded. These were up to 2.1m across and 0.37m deep at maximum, possessed steep-sided and near flat-based profiles. They are perhaps more suggestive of storage pits. Although there was no physical evidence for any structure that could actually have been lived in, the completely empty space just south of the complex of pits would have been large enough to accommodate a relatively small roundhouse (of about 11 or 12m diameter) with the additional open space evident on the east to south-east suggesting the possibility that its porched entrance was situated here, the most common location. The case for such a structure is certainly strengthened by the concentration of features elsewhere in the enclosure and totally absent from this location.
