Priestfield NO 673 488 NO64NE

The crop-mark of a palisaded homestead has been identified in the field immediately NW of Anniston. The area enclosed by the palisade is oval and measures about 35m in maximum diameter, and contains a circular hut about 15m in diameter. Outside the palisade there is another circular mark, which may represent a hut of similar size, and there are also faint traces of what may be a field-system.
