A trapezoidal enclosure, previously known only from aerial photographs, was the focus of archaeological investigations. No dating evidence for the enclosure was retrieved, although it is considered likely to be later prehistoric on the basis of its form. Slight evidence for Mesolithic and Neolithic activity, as well as post-medieval and later activity was also uncovered.
