Abstract:		 In 1996 RCAHMS recorded a group of 27 circular enclosures or possible huts in a plantation 40m N of the former stables of Aden House. Within the last few years a number of these have been lost during landscaping. The remaining sites in this area of woodland were recorded and trial excavations undertaken as a community project. Apart from a number of banks formed from upcast earth during drainage of the woodlands, there were a group of five conjoined circular features. Two, possibly three, of these can be interpreted as small roundhouses with clay walls and entrances to the SW. The two remaining, semi-circular, features are unlikely to have been roofed and may be interpreted as animal pens or possibly small enclosed garden plots. Apart from a single undiagnostic flint flake on one of the clay walls, there were no finds with the exception of 19th and 20th century objects in the topsoil. Nor were there any samples suitable for C14 dating. Nevertheless, the morphology of the group suggests a late prehistoric date. A stone pathway that curved around the outside of the group cannot be dated and may be a much later feature. J C Murray 2013.
