Description
NAR SS87NE85

A 4.6m stretch of drystone walling is thought to represent the remains of a building; a midden mound, 9.1m north-south by 4.6m & 0.6m high, adjoining on the south, is made up of stones, sand & limpet shells; two sherds of medieval coarseware pottery plucked from its surface indicate the general date of both midden & building: set within an area engulfed by sand in & around the 16th century.

These features can be associated with other besanded monuments in the area of the Warren, notably the possible trackway to the west (Nprn307243) a range of possibly medieval features to the east (see Nprn24324).
