Monument record 4745/1/2 - Possible defensive wall/ building

{1} Cutting the platform on its south western side was a robber trench for a further foundation, the full width of which lay outside the excavation area. The trench was c.1.3m deep with a near vertical cut on it north eastern side, which had a step 0.85m up from the base of the cut. The robber trench suggests the former presence of a defensive wall of building.
