Map

July 2003. NMP.
There are six separate areas of lighter coloured or parched crop visible, although it is possible that these originally formed only three larger mounds (S1). The features are sub-rounded to irregular in plan and range in diameter from 11 to 34m. These are probably (but not definitely) saltern mounds, and may be medieval in date, although there are few others in the immediate area.
M. Brennand (NMP), 23 July 2003.
