What is recorded here
Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope within a trivallate enclosure (see WA027-003010-) which has been suggested as 'the site of an early church' (Power 1952, 215). In the course of excavations undertaken on the site in 1940 M.J. Bowman recovered large quantities of ‘iron’(between 100 and 150 kg) which together with a ‘furnace’ feature and fragments of a possible tuyere indicates a period of intense iron working on site (Curtin 2015, 139-40) which may date to the early modern period.
