A rectilinear ditched enclosure 52 metres long and 48 metres wide was excavated in 1968-9 and found to be superimposed on the EIA settlement (HER 305). Within a ditch 4.5 - 5 metres wide, and a maximum 2.25 m deep, and a ploughed-out internal bank, there was a single, central, round timber house c. 11.5 metres in diameter inside a drainage ditch 2 metres wide and 1 metre deep. Finds of Roman pottery suggest the site was occupied in the 2nd century A.D.
