PRN 88739 - Ffrith, earthworks

In 1987 cropmarks and surface traces indicating a rectangular earthwork were recognised to the SW of Ffrith (Frere, S S, 1988, pp416).

Fieldwork in 1988 led to its interpretation as a fort platform, 108m by c.130m, with possible vicus to east (Frere, S S, 1989, pp258-9).

Although there is an earthwork at this site, part of what was interpreted as a fort coincides with a removed field boundary on the 1st edition OS map (Bapty, I, pers. comm., 2005).
