2. Earthworks in field north of Aberyscir Court (Nprn25027): linear earthwork features divide off the eastern part of the field, towards the Yscir river, the remaining area being divided again by east-west features: the eastern part of the north area, a plot about 78m north-south by 54m occupying a distinct knoll, shows clear north-south cultivation/planting(?) ridges overlying a square earthwork feature thought to represent a minor Roman military enclosure (Nprn308497); the southern area includes what appear to be rectangular ponds & platforms (above), oriented north-south.

Associated with/part of:
Aberyscir Court gardens and landscape features (Nprn86025).
