Full Description
{1}{3} Low linear banks, platforms and possible sites of buildings on north and south sides of a sunken east-west running road. Limestone (possibly walling?) is exposed in places. The earthworks are partially visible on aerial photo 5036/001m and a road and buildings are also depicted on Eyre's map labelled as "Astrop Spa". The earthworks may represent 17th/18th century expansion of settlement associated with Astrop Spa or may have earlier medieval origins.
