Gilchrist NH 537 493 NH54NW
Crop-marks on air photographs show the arcs of three concentric ditches in an arable field 250m NW of Gilchrist farmhouse. Apparently designed to cut off approach to a tongue of low-lying and comparatively level ground running NW into marshland, they are in effect part of the defensive system of a promontory fort measuring about 85m by 30m.
