Map

February 1971.
'Rampart' (drawn on map as having a playing-card corner).
'Bricks in living memory; still a grass bank. D.U.P'.
'Mr Paterson has found chipped flint axes in field'.

Written on KLM 6 inch record map.

Nothing on NAU air photographs which show a ploughed field. Is this accurate or is it a mistake for the moats to northwest? DUP is presumably Mr Paterson's initials.
E. Rose (NAU), 23 October 1981.
