Notes about this historic site
1 One of two penannular gullies uncovered south of Langley Brook. This, the earlier, was smaller and had an entrance facing the south east. A Prehistoric date is suggested on morphology; there were no finds. Succeeded by MWA 9109.
2 Ditch 300363 was c.11m in diameter. A number of postholes, located in its interior, could not be dated and were of unkown function. It is most likely part of an Iron Age settlement, with an Iron Age enclosure found on the same site, but north of Langley Brook and therefore, north of the county boundary.
