NS 780 779. Within the area of a postulated Roman temporary camp is a small, roughly circular cropmark - not unlike the ring-ditch of a barrow - which appears to cut the line of the Antonine Military Way. A barrow of Dark Age date might be in question.

NS 7815 7797. The only available St Joseph AP shows the circular, ditched crop mark, about 20-25m diameter, to be just south of the postulated metalling of the Military Way, but cutting a side ditch or later feature that runs immediately to the S and is parallel. There is the suggestion of an outside bank to the ditch, and dark spots show in the interior (see also NS77NE 22).
Information from OS Recorder (JRL) 25 January 1980.
This low ridge, at about 90m OD, was under crop at time of visit, but a slight circular depression, some 20m in diameter, is visible at stated reference.
Visited by OS (MJF) 30 June 1980
This site was excavated (L J F Keppie 1994; 1995) and found to be a circular clay pit, 20m in diameter, filled with 20th century rubbish.
Information from D J Wooliscroft, 1995.
