Full Description

A gently curving stretch of bank, extending downhill for about 100m was recorded to the south of the hut-circles at Turnal Rock (see MHG811) during a pre-afforestation survey by Headland Archaeology in 1998. It was thought that the bank was probably part of the field-system associated with the hut-circles. <1>
