This Archaeological Topographic Earthwork Survey of the enclosure was undertaken by Nottinghamshire Community Archaeology. This report contains the results, a study of the landscape setting and a discussion of its origins... is it part of an Iron Age or Roman farmstead? Or a Medieval stock enclosure for hunting in the Royal Forest?.
