Archaeology Notes

Situated c 90m to the north west of HU33SE 44 on higher gently sloping ground to the north of the stream. The structure is very badly preserved there being few remaining stones and only a shallow banking c.0.1 to 0.15m high indicating the line of the wall. It would appear to have had a main part measuring c.7 by 7.5m with an annexe to the east, measuring c.3.5 by 4m, giving an overall length of c.11m and an east-west orientation.
