Notes
HER: A bank defined rectangular enclosure of probable Bronze Age date has been recorded by field and aerial survey on the north-west edge of the summit of Dewerstone Rock. A hut circle is incorporated into the enclosure’s north-west corner. The enclosure is situated within the boundary of an earlier, probably Neolithic enclosure.
