Description
NAR SH48SE2

A later Prehistoric type enclosed settlement found on the northern end of a shelf on the south-eastern side of Bodafon Mountain. A string of similar settlements occupy the shelf to the south (see NPRN 400740, 400746, 400747).
A ciurvilinear walled enclosure, 26-30m across, incorporates a conjoined pair of roundhouses, 9.0m and 4.0m in diameter. Settlements such as this often produce Roman material when excavated.
