Aerial Photographic Interpretation (26 February 2014)
Following a review of the aerial photographic evidence, the circle of pits recorded as cropmarking on aerial photographs is now thought to represent the remains of a later prehistoric roundhouse. As such the pit circle classification previously applied has been removed and replaced with roundhouse.
