Defended Enclosure.
From the description on the RCAHMs' CEFLEIN website, this sounds rather obscure, but it is plainly visible from the road, as seen in the picture I have posted, which had the added benefit of the low winter sun on 4 Feb '07. The same winter sun showed some possible ancient tracks leading to the site, which I will have to investigate further!
CEFLEIN describes it as "Subrectangular banked & ditched enclosure, about 40m east-west by 25m, set on ground falling to the north-west, having an east-facing entrance: excavated 1972-3, revealing remains of rectangular timber buildings, limited finds, included two nail fragments; radio-carbon dating suggested occupation around the later 1st & earlier 2nd century AD." We thought it looked wonderful!
