Ancient Village or Settlement in Shropshire

An Iron Age / Romano-British rectangular settlement / enclosure, reminiscent of Caer Leb on Anglesey. It measures some 270 feet by 190 feet approx, with the level of the land dropping steeply to the south. No access, but viewing possible from woodland above to the west (best view), or from the road. Parking a little further up on the left.
