Abstract/Summary

Two late Iron Age sites previously identified by geophysical survey were located on the lower slopes. One may have been a farmstead, comprising a small, roughly square enclosure and adjoining ring ditch situated next to a possible droveway; the second was a larger, irregular enclosure that may have been used to hold livestock. With the exception of remnant medieval furrows and a 19th century field boundary ditch, no other archaeological features were encountered.
