The National Monuments Service's description
In 2000 archaeological excavation by Donald Murphy revealed evidence of a V-shaped ditch (Wth 1.6m ; D 0.9m) of an enclosure (Bennett 2002, 318). Finds retrieved from this site include quernstone fragments, rubbing stones, medieval pottery and part of a copper-alloy thimble. This enclosure lay to the N of an excavated enclosure (TN020-144001). Excavation was carried out under licence No. 00E0385 (Bennett 2002, 318).
