Archaeology Notes

HY22NW 17 2438 2820.

A line of stones, possibly the wall of a building, which may be associated with the settlement to the NW (HY22NW 14) or may be a separate site. The stones are apparently carefully set and run parallel to the road, with, possibly, the end of a second wall adjacent and running at right angles. Exposed by erosion of sand-cliff.

C D Morris 1983, 1978, 1977 and 1979.
