Thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping to fill in some of the holes in TMA up in the NE by looking at some of the less "sexy" sites :-)

The rock outcrop comments are very interesting, the 1822 book mentions the road into the site more than the site (so must have been something then) and it was the most impressive part of the site when I visited. As per the fieldnotes one of the features on the side of the outcrop looks "man made" and the laid stomes at the bottom of the ditch on that side suggest the whole area could have part of an impressive entrance. Couldn't see anything on the other side of the track but there was deep gorse and a small quary/open mine site which could be much more recent.

Worth a trip if you are in the area.

Mac
