NO01NW 4 03850 19213
An enclosure, 350 ft square, surviving as a low earthwork, Possibly Roman or medieval. Sectioned by R W Feachem in 1957.
J K St Joseph 1958; 1965.
No trace.
Visited by OS 2 November 1965.
NO 038 192 Two rectilinear enclosures of 8.2 and 4 acres have in the past been suspected of being small Roman temporary camps (see also NO01NW 17). Air photographs, however, failed to detect any signs of entrance breaks in their ditches. A trench was cut at their point of closest approach to one another (at which the ditches were 4.8m apart). The western enclosure ditch was 2.1m wide and 0.35m deep, and saucer-shaped in profile (NO01NW 17). That of the eastern enclosure was steep-sided, flat-bottomed and 2.3m wide by 0.8m deep. Neither appears likely to be Roman. The ditches were overlain by a 0.4m thick layer of redeposited loam which contained a considerable quantity of iron slag, although no direct trace of metalworking was found within the trench.
