History
A cental platform is contained with concentric banks and ditches, which are
now partly eroded. These recall the site of Celtic round houses from the
early few centuries AD. The raised central mound resembles mottoes or castle
mounds from around the 11th or 12th centuries.
Location
Near Santon in the south of the Island.
