Abstract:
This site has attracted considerable attention since it was discovered in 1924 (Straker 1931, 327-8). Despite the interest which has been shown by groups and individuals, of which there is ample evidence in the small, filled-in excavations to be seen in the field to the south of Kemp's Wood, a lamentably small proportion has been recorded. The Field Group first visited the site in 1975 (Crossley, 1976) and on two occasions in 1985.
