The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (05E0028) identified a ring-ditch (Stafford 2008) that was subsequently partially excavated under the same licence while the unexcavated portion was preserved under undeveloped ground (McManus 2008). A circular area (diam. 10.2m) was defined by a slot-trench with a number of internal post-holes and stake-holes. An entrance was not identified in the excavated portion, but may survive SE-SW. A large pit outside the structure to the S may have been associated and functioned as a storage pit. The ditch-barrow (WX042-090----) is c. 150m to the SW. (MacManus 2006, 2008)
