Notes about this historic site
1 Geophysical survey revealed a series of linear anomalies crossing a presumed trackway diagonally. The trackway runs towards the Iron Age settlement (PRN 5536). A number of trenches were dug. The linear features appeared to be natural, but traces of a probably truncated ploughsoil, probably of Iron Age and Roman date, was found. Two parallel ditches probably represent a trackway and this is of late Bronze Age or early Iron Age date and probably predates the neighbouring settlement.
