Description:
Possible ditched enclosures identified during geophysical survey at White Hill Woods. A large, 65m diameter, sub-circular enclosure was identified within a possible rectilinear enclosure, though the chronological relationship between the two is not known. The rectilinear enclosure appears to be defined by a double-ditch. Both enclosures appear to extend northwards beyond the limit of the survey area. It has not been possible to identify associated features within the enclosure, but this may be due to the overlying anomalies associated with later ploughing of the site; such features could lie undetected beneath the ploughsoil.
