Monument record TR 13 NE 28 - Possible site of a promontory fort
Summary
Soilmark and earthwork traces of a large sub-circular bivallate enclosure likely to be an Iron Age promontory fort can be seen on aerial photographs. Iron Age potsherds found in 1973 prompting speculation that a promontory fort may have existed. This is now confirmed by the aerial photographs.
