Description
NAR SH37NW4

Traces of a 10m diameter roundhouse with a 1.0m wide stone founded wall and joined to an angle of walling.
This appears to be the remains of an enclosed roundhouse settlement. These are characteristic of later Prehistoric settlement and have often produced Roman material.
This example appears to have been part of a cluster of such settlements (see NPRN 302306). Finds recorded during clearance in the nineteenth century appear to have included Roman material, bronze tweezers, coins and as many as three copper cakes.
