Description

The monument is a circular house stance of the Later Bronze Age or Iron Age some 2000 to 3000 years old, comprising a low bank enclosing an area 10m in diameter. The circle is quite well preserved and has originally been quite massive. The remains of hearths, working area, postholes etc will survive within and around the stance. Its entrance lies on the SE. An area measuring 30m in diameter is proposed for scheduling.

Statement of Scheduling

The monument is of national importance as a house stance which has the potential to enhance our understanding of prehistoric settlement. It is of particular interest because of the survival nearby of a small broadly contemporary farmstead; taken together the two monuments have the potential to enhance our understanding of the development and use of the prehistoric landscape.
