Summary
A terrace or hollow enclosed by a curvilinear bank are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data on the south facing slopes to the west of Huntsham Wood, Huntsham parish. They have been interpreted as evidence of a former structure, potentially a dwelling of medieval to post-medieval date associated with a house depicted on the Tithe map for Huntsham.
