Hey up Kammer,

I spent a strange day in the back of a transit looking for this site and never found it.
I think the reference for it came from either the 'archi' disc or maybe Dyers 'discovering...' book.
It was on my mind to delete the site posting when I found nothing, but then when Elderford posted fieldnotes and pics under the same reference, I put it down to my crap map reading.
Now I really am confused......any pointers?

nice one

Well someone's corrected it anyway, but you're right Stubob, it's that James Dyer book... I just happened to have it on my desk, and checked the reference and he's got it as a SJ reference when it should SK. There's quite a few niggling little mistakes like that in the book, isn't there? It's annoying cause it's a pretty good guide, on the whole.

Hi Stubob,

I'm afraid I don't know north Powys or Staffordshire very well, so I'm not much use.

Ironman - It still looks like the site has an 'SJ' grid ref to me. You're right though, it should be an 'SK' grid ref...
