Archaeology Notes

HY22NW 22.01 Centred on 2428 2835

Formerly HY22NW 27

Concentration of stones, possibly displaced, resting on natural clay, and sealed by grey soil and turf. Further examination in 1982 indicated that this may essentially be part of the solifluction debris, rather than an archaeological feature.

C D Morris (VESSARP) 1989
