Full description
Newman , P., 2001, Headland Warren Part 2: Medieval Settlement and Enclosures, 3-4, Figure 2 (Report - Survey). SDV360131.
The Medieval settlement consists of two ruined longhouses and associated small enclosures adjacent to the north side of a large tin streamwork which eaxtends eastwards form the Redwater valley. The northern edge of the streamwork truncates the settlement which was once likely to have been much larger. The building remains lie within a shallow natural hollow with access via a sunken lane on the eastern side which runs north-west parallel to a later enclosure and pillow mounds. Two small enclosures survive just west of the two longhouses consisting of spread earth banks. Both have been truncated by streamwork. Their areas are approximately 0.16 hectares each. The northern lip of the hollow is also defined by vestiges of a bank. Map object parly based on this source.
