Description

1997. RCHME field survey. This structure, presumably of timber, is shown on the Ordnance Survey map but has left no archaeological trace. It is suggested that it may have been a podium or stand for reviewing parades. The roughly square field to the north seems to have been reserved as a parade ground. <1> <2>
