Located on a shelf just off the summit at SW of a prominent natural knoll of limestone outcrop (dims of base c. 250m N-S; c. 170m N-S; dims of top c. 90m N-S; c. 50m E-W; max. H c. 10m at NE to c. 30m at SW). Archaeological testing (05E0526) uncovered four small pits (diam. 0.12-0.25m) filled with a charcoal-rich clay that had burnt stone and bone inclusions. They were cut into a band of orange-brown subsoil (L c. 12m) amongst the rock outcrop nodes. A larger pit (diam. 1.3m) was nearby and three other pits (diam. 0.1-0.12m) were found in another trench c. 1.5m to the SW. About 20m to the NE and closer to the summit two pits (diam. 0.5m; 0.6m) are recorded, one of which produced a sherd of poorly made, crumbly pottery that is probably prehistoric. A trench on the W side of the knoll produce evidence of three linear features including a probable ditch (Wth of top 3.4m) aligned E-W and apparently extending down a steep slope.
