✦ Synopsis

Large, isolated, rock-cut pits located as regular features during a programme of detailed fluxgate gradiometry and excavation within ditched enclosures of mid to later Iron Age date from the northern Cotswolds (Gloucestershire, UK) are discussed as a case study in terms of their properties, problems of prospection and possible interpretation. General issues regarding detection of other anomalously large pits on such sites are also raised.
