Map

A group of two, possibly three, banked enclosures on the east side of and adjacent to a stream, and extending up to 30m from it. The banks vary in height and width and one may well be a causeway. One enclosure appears subdivided by a very low bank. A possible platform on a higher terrace to the east, but this is not convincing.

This site lies within several fragmentary linear ditches visible on aerial photographs to the north and west of Swardeston Common. They are part of a network of drainage ditches, most of which have clearly been excavated or re-excavated in modern times, and have been recorded under NHER 54620.
