- DU015-058 Enclosure
Description
Situated on high ground within an undulating landscape. An aerial photograph taken by the OS in 1992 (Flight 8:7660) shows cropmark evidence for a triple-ditched enclosure comprising two inner circular ditches which are enclosed by a sub-circular enclosure. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 08R0023) was undertaken in advance of a proposed road realignment. Two concentric and symmetrical circular responses are encompassed within an outer sub-square response representing a probable trivallate enclosure. Outer enclosure 40m diam., the central 27m and the inner 12m diam. Few responses within the interior of the enclosures were identified. (Harrison 2008a). Not visible at ground level.
