Description

This event was undertaken to ground-truth the results of a previous large scale geophysical survey (SEM8133 and EEM14514). To achieve this, two small trenches were opened. The largest targeted a possible rectangular enclosure and measured 5 x 6 metres. The second trench was located on part of the circuit of a possible circular enclosure c. 74 metres in diameter. The results of this project are a minimum evaluation of surviving deposits.
