Includes area of former earthworks HER 1923.
W. Milligan (NCM), 27 June 1997.

The mapped extent of this record was previously much larger, extending into the fields to the west and east. This larger former extent reflected information supplied following the 1997 fieldwalking (see above) but it appears that most (if not all) finds recovered at this time (and all subsequent discoveries) were from the field surrounding NHER 1923 [3].
P. Watkins (HES), 9 November 2015.
