Monument record TR 24 SE 42 - Earthworks

Summary

Earthworks at Poulton Farm close to St Radigund's Abbey comprise irregular trenches extending over some 40 acres. They have the appearance of an oppidum, although foundations of walls have been found which may indicate that the site is Medieval. The earthworks extend towards Poulton Farm where various banks give the impression of defensive features.
