MSO7648 - Possible site of medieval Mene, north of West Myne (Monument)

Level terrace on the north slope of the coastal ridge immediately above the coastal slope. The rectangular area defined by a low bank enclosing an area approximately 100 metres by 40 metres. Within this the ground is irregular with some stone on the surface although no clear buildings are apparent. [1] It is one of the possible sites of Mene, the Domesday Manor (see also MSO7585, MSO7586 and MSO8022). [2] The area is used for rough grazing and several areas of small stones are visible together with one outcrop. [3] The possible Medieval settlement site referred to above [1-3] is visible as irregular earthworks on aerial photographs but no structures are visible and the earthworks could easily be natural.
