NT15SE 17 1513 5463
The site of a circular enclosure, c10.5m in diameter, at NT 1513 5463 is marked by a very much spread earthen bank. It is set on the brow of a ridge overlooking the Roman road (RR 7g) and commands an extensive view in all directions except to the NW. This, together with its close proximity to the road, suggests that it could be a signal station or road post, but no salient features could be identified and it is too amorphous for positive identification.
