Ancient Settlement in Wiltshire

"Prehistoric rectangular enclosure, of uncertain exact date but parallels Robin Hood's Arbour, Maidenhead which gives a possible Iron Age date. The earthwork comprises a sub-rectangular area of 200 square metres enclosed by a bank 3.3 metres wide and 0.2 metres high with an external ditch 1 metre deep and 7.2 metres wide. Scheduled."
