Abstract:		 1998 excavation of the enclosure revealed it to have been of at least two phases and surrounded by a number of other boundary ditches, pits, a human burial and an animal burial. The enclosure was greatly enlarged in the second phase of its use, but appeared to have enclosed only a single homestead. The pottery assemblage placed the occupation at the end of the IA, possibly ceasing before the Roman Conquest. The economy of the site appears to have been largely pastoral, but evidence for unusually large cattle, and for ironworking, suggests that it may have been of higher status than other known contemporary settlements. Evidence for earlier prehistoric activity was also found during the excavation, which recovered a small assemblage of earlier Mesolithic flintwork.
