Description of this historic site

The possible site of an earthwork of unknown date is suggested by documentary evidence. The site lies to the south of the church at Harborough Magna.

Notes about this historic site

1 According to an account in Bloxam there were earthworks “south of the church” which may be remains of an ancient British encampment of the Coritani tribe. When the site was visited there were no earthworks south of the church which could fit this description.
2 There are earthworks north of the church which appear to be the result of quarrying (see WA 4191) and also a probable fishpond with earthworks west of the church (see WA 4189).
