(the current route of the road leading to Shepton Mallet). This approach to Glastonbury features an erthwork.

Will have to try that route next week. I always come in to Glastonbury via Somerton and Street haven't been via Shepton Mallet for years, blimey will have to look out for the earth work. Cheers for that.

It's not obvious, but it is visible from the road. There's also a very small plaque marking it on the right hand side as you approach Glastonbury. As you pass through West Pennard, you hit a straight section of road. You'll see a left hand turn towards Baltonsborough just before the road bends. A short distance further on, there's a cluster of houses. This is where the road passes through Ponter's Ball. I've got some photos at home which I'll posy up when I get a chance and then I'll chuck a link into this thread.

You might like to try this site http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/map.asp?flash=true the Historical Environment Record which is a fantastic resource. Just click on the site info and Bob's your Auntie!
