Full Description

To the south of Red Hill, near the modern railway embankment, and NE of Red Hill Farm there is a rectangular enclosure with slightly raised banks which has been included in the scheduled area but which is probably Med or later in date. (see SAM map, 1962). (1)
An enclosure at SK 495 302, with modern field boundaries to the E and S, may be the one mentioned above. The W boundary appears to be a plough headland, and the N boundary has been mutilated by ploughing. (2)
The enclosure cannot be identified in an area of rough pasture containing evidence of ridge and furrow . (3)
See L8868 for C18/C19 pottery, M500 for Ro settlement and cross refs.
