Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated. Trench 1 was excavated on the north-west edge of the circle to investigate a possible entrance linking the circle and the adjacent enclosure. No evidence for a break in the ditch was recorded in the trench. A charcoal-filled pit was cut through the upper ditch fill. Another pit, possibly a socket for a 'missing' portal stone, was recorded. Two postholes were aligned down the west side of the entrance. Trench 2 was excavated around one of the circle stones. The excavation demonstrated that the prone stone lay over the backfilled enclosure ditch. A cobbled surface had been laid down between the circle stones either side of Trench 2. No interior features were identified in Trench 3. The enclosure ditch can be roughly dated to the Neolithic period on the basis of two small fragments of pottery recovered from the fills.
