Summary
Parchmark photographed August 1995 of rectangular enclosure with 2 straight sides and 1 rounded corner showing in mown grass south of Hoole Hall. There are two entrances visible with external claviculae. One of a number of similar enclosures in this area. The presence of claviculae at this enclosure confirms a Roman date for this group of sites. Claviculae are curving earthworks built to protect the entrance to a roman camp. The other sides of the enclosure lie under the A41 and the former entrance driveway. This camp would have had a v-cut ditch with a rampart inside. The rampart has been spread and the ditch infilled by later ploughing. It is a Scheduled Monument.
