Archaeology Notes

NJ35NW 25 3113 5760

This palisaded enclosure has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1986, 2000) lying on a terrace above a steep scarp about 500m NE of Orbliston. It is roughly circular on plan, measuring about 50m in diameter within a narrow palisade ditch with a possible entrance gap on the N. The SE side of the enclosure abuts the edge of the scarp.
