Notes about this historic site
1 Earthworks and traces of two dry stone walls at Compton Scorpion Farm could indicate a building. A few sherds etc. in the area. In the S of the field are areas of ridge and furrow and traces of an earthwork enclosure or large terrace. This may indicate a Med/P Med house platform. The platform is defined on three sides by a bank 0.5-1.5m high and on the fourth (uphill) side by a lynchet.
