The monument situated 68 metres south west of Cranford Farm is a multi-period site comprising an Iron Age enclosed settlement overlain by an Anglo-Saxon hunting lodge. The Iron Age settlement represents a defended domestic space typical of the later prehistoric period in the region, whilst the later Anglo-Saxon structure indicates continued occupation and exploitation of the site during the early medieval period. The palimpsest of occupation demonstrates the strategic value of this location across more than a thousand years, with successive communities recognising its advantages for settlement and resource management.
