More information : Embanked trackway truncates rampart of prehistoric enclosure (SZ 49 NW 3), sweeping round in NW direction to effectively bisect enclosure. Measuring 5m wide and ditched on S side. Spoil from ditch used to form outer bank(up to 1.2m high and 4m wide). The segmented nature of the bank is probably due in part to former line of trees (1a). A similar bank defines the N edge of the track, although this is more denuded in appearance. Track probably the route to cottages and quay depicted on 1839 Tithe Map.
