September 1972. Field survey.
The ploughed down remains of a Red Hill, forming a low swelling with a maximum height of 1.0m. Its approximate limits could not be ascertained, as the area is under crop; and it appears to be overlaid by the sea wall on the south-east side.
Reddish earth and Iron Age/Romano-British briquetage are in evidence. <8>
