A palisaded enclosure, a souterrain and a crescentic feature which probably marks the position of a round house have been recorded by aerial photography on a level terrace about 500m N of Spittalfield steading and to the S of the Roman road NO14SW 30. The palisaded enclosure (NO 1089 4145) is D-shaped on plan and backs on to the steep escarpment that forms the edge of the terrace. It measures about 38m from E to W (along the chord) by at least 21m transversely. The crescent of the probable round house (NO 1091 4146) lies immediately to the NE of the souterrain and measures about 11m in diameter. The curving mark of the souterrain (NO 1089 4148) is situated a short distance to the NW of the crescent, and tapers towards a probable entrance on the SW.
