Full Description
SS 9349 4753. Low earthwork complex, possibly prehistoric. [1] A series of possible prehistoric earthworks were alleged at this location but could not be located during recent field investigation due to a coverage of dense gorse in 1998. [2] The earthworks referred to above [1,2] could not be identified from the available aerial photography. Aerial photographs taken in 1946 show numerous tank tracks, mainly orientated from east to west which may have obscured any earlier underlying earthworks. [3-5]
