Full description

North of Hackford church.
Possible earthworks noted by [1] and stoneware and medieval coarse and glazed pottery found in molehill.
A. Rogerson (NAU), 1978.

Earthworks resemble slight house platforms, but a winding ditch amongst them makes writer think they may well be just drainage.
E. Rose (NAU), 7 December 1978.

September 2005.
Slight earthworks visible in pasture field, with many nettle patches. Winding ditch mentioned in 1978 not visible. Owner recalls 'dtich' being filled in by Council, and drain inserted a few years ago.
