Roman Farmstead (Wall)
(NY 96857055) Roman Earthwork. (1)
A rectangular earthwork with a single rampart of approximately 1acre area. (2)
Listed under pre-Roman univallate works (includes forts settlements and enclosures). (3)
Surveyed at 1/2500. (4)
A much-mutilated, sub-rectangular enclosure abutting a natural scarp, and consisting of the remains of a ditch internal to a slight bank. Nothing survives in the interior. Apart from the rectilinear form, it has no Roman characteristics; on the other hand there is little to support Jobey's classification, except the proximity of a possible barrow and Romano-British settlement (NY 97 SE 11 and 12) which suggest early occupation of the area. Resurveyed at 1/2500. (5)
Scheduled as a Romano-British farmstead with the possible remains of a prehistoric stone-built house in the south east corner of the enclosure. (6)
An Iron Age/ Roman enclosure is visible as an earthwork on air photographs at NY 9685 7055. The enclosure is formed by a ditch with an external bank. Traces of an internal bank are visible in places. The southern side is not visible and it abuts a scarp to the north. It has internal dimensions of approximately 62m by 65m. A linear earthwork (NY 97 SE 62) runs southwards from its south-east corner. The southern half of the enclosure is partly overlain by post medieval ridge and furrow.
