Description
In 1972 14 short trial trenches were dug to determine the size and shape of the Red Hill more accurately without damaging archaeological deposits. The surviving mound was shown to be the centre of the Red Hill which was originally about 3.5m above Roman ground level (this is just less than 2m below average ground level of c0m OD). Low extensions to the north-east and south-west made the Red Hill to be roughly cigar-shaped.
