Description
NRHE data transfer:
September 1999. Field survey.
A prominent earth mound, circular in shape 16.5m by 17.0m by 0.6m high. The close proximity of creeks around the mound has accentuated its edges so that it appears particularly prominent, although it is heavily eroded and disturbed by animal activity. The mound is probably a red hill associated with the salt industry generally dating to the Iron Age and Roman periods.
The mound is visible as an earthwork and was recorded by English Heritage during analytical survey in September 1999. See archive survey plan at 1:1000 scale and the Old Hall Marshes survey report. <1>
