Settlement near Manor House (Wark)
(NY 82917503) Camp (site of). (1)
Classified by Hogg as native but with no surviving remains. (2)
There is a hut circle here (diam 6m) and, to the south west, vague traces of possibly three others. Immediately to the east a slight swelling on the ground indicates the site of a possible oval enclosure (27m x 24m) but it may well be identical. (3)
This seems to be a small complex of huts with an integral enclosure, but the remains are so slight that only one hut circle can be identified with any certainty. Surveyed at 1:2500. (4)
NY 829750. Broadpool Common possible unenclosed settlement. (5)
Unenclosed settlement 200m south-west of Manor House. Scheduled on 22nd August 1994, national monument number 25104.
The monument includes the remains of an unenclosed settlement of Bronze Age date situated on the level top of a small knoll. The settlement is visible as a clearly defined hut circle 4.5m in diameter within a wall of stone 1.3m wide and 0.3m high. Immediately to the south-west there are further traces of at least one circular house visible as a low, curving bank. Some 6m to the east of the first house there is an associated oval enclosure within a low stony wall 27m east to west by 24m north to south.
The unenclosed settlement south-west of Manor House is reasonably well preserved and retains significant archaeological remains. The importance of the monument is enhanced by the survival of a four poster stone circle 300m to the south; taken together they will add to our knowledge and understanding of later prehistoric settlement and ritual activity.
