Description

Excavations in 1984, in advance of construction of a police station and following the demolition of Mount House, aimed to examine and date an earthwork that was thought to be part of a late iron age 'oppidum'. Two trenches were cut across the earthen bank and a trench was dug within, i.e. to the east of it.
