Full Description
Rectangular enclosure with sharp corners. At the SW corner is apparently the outline of a bastion of Civil War character. The other three corners are rounded. (Suggested to be a Civil War bastion, part of W outer defences of Newark). (1)
Site was under plough; there are no surface indications of the enclosure and no building material was found during perambulation. Topographical position ... is not suitable for a military work. (2)
See also M 2761 for nearby moat (NAR record confuses the two sites)
