• CW012-090 Enclosure
  Description

  Aerial photographs (GB89.O.23 and 24) shows cropmark of a large curvilinear enclosure defined by a wide fosse with a complex multi-ditched entrance facing east and a simple entrance facing south. A third possible entrance leads into a rectilinear annexe, defined by two fosses, on western side. A circular pit adjoins the fosse within the curvilinear enclosure. Curvilinear fosses extend from both enclosures indicating an associated field system, but complicated by irregular cropmarks of geomorphological origin indicating patterned ground resulting from frost action. Part of a complex cropmark landscape comprising three contrasting enclosures. Curved modern field boundary respects eastern eastern boundary of enclosure. The three contrasting enclosures are not necessarily contemporaneous (Barrett 1989). Bibliography Barrett , G.F.
