A late prehistoric enclosed settlement and the surviving part of a second, situated in Potter Newton at the north end of Gipton Wood. The main, southern, enclosure has a substantial ditch with a well-defined outer bank. The ditch is about 5 metres wide and 0.6 metres deep. The bank is 5-6 metres wide and is up to 0.5 metres high.
Immediately to the north is part of a second enclosure which has been partly destroyed by a modern road and housing estate. This enclosure is bounded by a bank approximately 4 metres wide and 0.3 metres high. An additional ditch 4 metres wide with an outer bank about 4 metres wide and 0.2-0.3 metres high is present on the west side of the enclosure.
