Cropmarks suggestive of a native fort, which appear on CUCAP air photographs (DM 32-3) of the spur at the extreme eastern end of the plateau on which stands the Roman fort at Mumrills (NS97NW 10), were tested by excavation in 1960, and no remains of ditches were found. It can therefore be assumed that they derive from ploughed-out rig-and-furrow cultivation and a cart-track and not from an eroded system of defensive banks and ditches.

Crop-Marks, Mumrills.
Crop-marks suggestive of a native fort, which appear on air-photographs (1) of the spur at the extreme eastern end of the plateau on which stands the Roman fort at Mumrills (NS97NW 10), were tested by excavation in 1960, and no remains of ditches were found. It can therefore be assumed that they derive from ploughed-out rig-and-furrow cultivation and a cart-track and not from an eroded system of defensive banks and ditches.
