Activities

Field Visit (4 September 2009)

A ruinous wall runs from NE to SW across the neck of land leading onto The Cambir (from NA07707 00795 to 07759 00831); the break towards its NE end is probably an original entrance. To the SE, there are traces of another wall on the same alignment, though this is discontinuous and may be earlier. Further stretches of ruinous walling are visible around The Cambir.
