Activities

Field Visit (29 September 1990)

NG26SW 11.19 232 616.

The loose cluster of at least seventeen buildings and ten enclosures which may be identified as the township occupies a wide terrace to the E of the public road to Trumpan. The buildings are defined by grass-grown footings most of which have been reduced by robbing and cultivation, although several are better defined. The enclosures, have the appearance of garden plots and are generally built up and defined by terraces and scarps rather than banks, although this may be the result of the improvement of parts of the terrace.
