Description
{2} Limited evaluation carried out in October 1990 on part of an enclosure cropmark lying within the area of a planned service station and restaurant complex. Trenches, confined to the eastern side of the site, confirmed the existence of the enclosure. The presence of gravel quarrying across part of the site was also confirmed. Trust House Forte kindly agreed to exclude that part of the enclosure within their development from any constructional disturbance. No evidence found to support the RCHM's suggestion of a Roman temple or shrine.
