mountainmary visited on 1st Nov 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 On private land so you do have to climb a locked gate and brave large hungry sheep. A superb site tho, so easy to walk down the village streets.
This enclosed village site, now surrounded by a modern stone wall, is recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 10951 and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1007192.
Historic England tells us: "The monument includes the earthwork remains of a settlement enclosure and associated hut circles of Romano-British date, situated on a south facing slope leading down to the River Gowan 750m to the south. The D-shaped enclosure, which is preserved as an earthwork, covers an area of approximately 0.9ha. and is denoted by an earth and stone bank. The enclosure has entrances on its west, south and east sides and its interior is sub-divided into a series of compartments by internal partitions in the form of low earth and stone banks. Also within the interior are a number of hut circles, varying in diameter from 3m to 8m, which are set on levelled terraced platforms cut into the slope of the hill".
