Archaeology Notes

NS31NW 39 34 19

In the field below the fort (NS31NW 24: at NS 348 198) there are traces of a road running E-W, which has been artificially terraced into the hillside at one point. Trial excavations over a distance of some 20yds revealed the presence of a compact layer of metalling some 2ft below ground level.

R G Livens 1956.

No traces. Area now built-up.

Visited by OS (JRL) 24 September 1980.
