NT 918081 Iron Age settlement at Hosedon Linn consists of nine timber-built house sites marked by 'ring grooves' 0.5 to 0.7m wide; the two longest having double rings 11m diameter. Faint traces of short arcs may indicate rebuilding of houses, and a slight groove on two sides of the site probably marks the site of a perimeter palisade. A 6th or 7th century BC date is possible for these remains on the evidence of radiocarbon tests on similar sites (Plan). (1)

Centred at NT 91700833 on a ridge 200m north of Hosedon Linn this settlement is much as described, except that only eight house sites are visible. (see annotated plan attached). (2)

NT 9169 0837. Palisaded settlement 200m NNE of Hosedon Linn. Scheduled RSM No 25014. A palisaded settlement of Early Iron Age date comprising the remains of at least eight timber houses visible as shallow circular grooves 0.5m to 0.7m wide. The houses range in size from 7m to the largest of 11m in diameter; the two largest houses are bounded by double rings. A slight groove, visible to the E of the houses is thought to represent the remains of an oval rock cut palisade trench which would have enclosed the houses. (4)
