The Irregular Enclosure A. Ditches Nos. 3, 4, 5. 



This enclosure is divided into three compartments by two cross 

 ditches, Nos. 4 and 5. This whole area is regarded as one large 

 enclosure because the boundary ditch No. 3 is continuous from the 

 corner of the rectilinear enclosure, with the dividing ditch No. 4 

 only cutting into it at an angle. Thus the whole length of the 

 large ditch No. 3 evidently forms the boundary of a distinct en- 

 closure ; this enclosure being bounded on its other sides partly by 

 ditch No. 7, and partly by the bank and dilch of the rectilinear 

 enclosure. 



It should be remembered that the bank of the rectilinear en- 

 closure was on the outside of its ditch, so that the end of the 

 boundary ditch No. 3 must have been at the foot of this bank, 

 and there would have been no entrance there, as the space between 

 the two ditches at this corner suggests, if this fact is not taken 



I into account. 



At the entrance to the enclosure A ditch No. 3 takes a sharp 

 turn, and gradually decreasing in size from this point, shallows 

 out to nothing. It will be seen that as far as is known there is 



: only one entrance into the whole of this enclosure, but it is possible 

 that there is another entrance causeway that was not found. 



I Through the somewhat imposing and difficult entrance access could 

 be gained immediately to either of the three compartments into 

 which the enclosure was divided. The dividing ditch No. 5 was 

 a comparatively slight affair, only some 4ft. deep, and shallowing 

 out at both ends, but No. 4 was as large as the boundary ditch 

 itself, and must have effectually cut off one part of the enclosure 

 from the other. 



The Irregular Enclosure B. Ditches Nos. 6, 7, 8, and 8a. 



It will be seen that two ditches issue from the ditch of the 

 rectilinear enclosure, one on either side of the entrance. 



One of these (No. 6), after a somewhat devious course, makes 

 for the corner of the outer rampart at B, and running right under
