Hillfort in Nottinghamshire
"Earthwork remains of an Iron Age univallate hillfort. Supposed Roman brick and tile were found on the site. Bronze Age bronze socketted axes and a flint scraper and knife were also found during excavation. Aerial photographs taken in 2001 suggest two possibly earlier conjoined curvilinear enclosures, which may have been overlain by the hillfort, visible as cropmarks immediately to the west of the site."
