Description
Broadwood settlement from the air MYD1480 © A J G Crawshaw, 2004
A rectangular earthwork enclosure about 65 by 50 metres, surrounded by a single bank. Inside it is divided into smaller enclosures and there are the possible remains of buildings. Excavations in 2003 provided evidence that the settlement dates to the Romano-British period. A 17th century lime kiln was also discovered on the site.
