Abstract:		 The Longnewton enclosures, first recorded as cropmarks in 1978, were recently investigated. A hypothetical sequence of four possible periods of enclosure has been identified and tentatively phased as following square, rectilinear and roughly circular plans with a final curvilinear annexe. Radiocarbon dating evidence indicates that these ditches were in use between the 2nd century BC and the later 1st century AD. No internal features were encountered and the finds consisted solely of animal bones and a single sherd of late 1st century AD Samian Ware. The results from the limited excavation of the interior are argued to suggest that the enclosures primarily performed a pastoral function, perhaps the corralling and/or processing of cattle or sheep.
