Ditched Enclosure in Greater Manchester
This double ditched enclosure is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 1085517, which tells us this site was first discovered from air photos. It is thought to be late Iron Age or Roman. "Excavations in 1992 across the north-east corner provided a 3rd century AD date for one ditch fill".
The Journal of Antiquities also features a page for this site - see their entry for Werneth Low and Hangingbank, Greater Manchester, which features a description and a photograph. The Journal entry also includes information about another settlement or farmstead called Hanginbank at SJ 9647 9352 - see the Portal's page for Hangingbank, Werneth Low.
