Full Description
{1} A substantial, though undated, ditch was located in trench 2. It seems likely that this feature dates to the post-Roman period.
{2} The trench 2 section seems to depict on the berm, a badly robbed, dry-stone walled, earth and stone packed 2m wide Civil War platform. Additionally the tip line of stone fill recorded might be the edge of the 17th century Civil War ditch filled with stony material from slighting of that platform.
