HER Number:MDV25688
Name:Two linear earthwork banks south-east of Glasscombe Corner

Summary

Two banks which extend across an enclosed field were recorded from a 1977 aerial photograph. Aligned roughly north-south, these banks are still faintly visible on 2010 aerial photographs. A possible hut circle (MDV25682) is associated with the western boundary, which undulates along its course. The eastern bank is much straighter.
