Description: | Cropmarks of a multivallate Iron Age type enclosure. This is a triple-ditched ovoid feature with annexes to south and east.{1}
Colquhoun of the Ordnance Survey noted that the site is in a commanding position and appears to be Iron Age in form. He notes that the area was probably marsh in the prehistoric period.{2}
The monument is scheduled as an Iron Age small multivallate hillfort, measuring 120m by 90m. It is a very similar size and form as one at Tattershall Thorpe. {3}
The monument has also been interpreted as a medieval decoy pond. {4} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 800BC - 42BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
