Aerial photographs had indicated an asymmetrical, rectilinear enclosure with rounded corners and a square feature inside. Two linear features subdivide the interior and, on the western side, a track runs across the enclosure. In the 1990s a geophysical survey and further evaluation detected a second smaller enclosure to the north west of the main one. During excavations Trenches 1 and 3 contained no archaeology but other trenches revealed pits and ditches. These are thought to date from the late pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Roman period. Some features could be of prehistoric origin. Opus signinum, ridge tiles and domestic waste suggest settlement in the area. No structures or buildings were found.
