Monument Number 1002502

Hob Uid: 1002502
Location :
Lancashire
Lancaster
Silverdale
Grid Ref : SD4612075860
Summary : Remains of a lynchet and terracing to the north. Possible site of a pele tower, though no trace of such a structure survives above ground.
More information : A demolished pele tower is recorded in the vicinity . (1a)

There are no apparent traces of the pele tower. A lynchet runs
diagonally across the field on an approximate east-west
alignment. It survives to a maximum height of 1.5m, and is crossed by a field wall, and continues in the adjoining field. To the north of the lynchet are two prominent earthworks separated by a level area (SD 4611575858). The northernmost earthwork is flat-topped. The maximum height of the earthworks is 2.5m. The size and scale of the earthworks suggest artificial terracing. The top earthwork may define the edge of a terraced platform. (1)
