3500bc - 2500bc Small continuous ditched enclosure with causewayed or 'beaded ditches'. Six fragments of human skeletal material were in the primary silt of the ditch in area J. Early Neolithic pottery was found, but no structures in the enclosure area were found. A little domestic debris was found. The enclosure had been built in a shady wooded environment, perhaps a forest clearing.
