(Formerly identified as Dryfeholm or Dryfeholme). Air photography (CUCAP 1948; RCAHMSAP 1986 and 1988) has recorded the cropmarks of a pit-alignment on the N side of the public road 250m N of the fort on Gallaberry Hill (NY18SW 6). It has been traced for a distance of about 100m to the N as far as the edge of an old river channel, and has probably formed one element in a wider system of boundaries.
