Ten Acre Settlement

Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

Mr Hamhead May 7, 2004

I had seen this site on the map but until now had never seen or heard anyone talk of it. Last night I was shown an arial photo and within the next couple of weeks I will go and have a look at what has been described as a low bank.
I am amazed at the amount of settlements that we have in this small corner of South East Cornwall. Is it a coincidence that many of them are on the high land above the Giants Hedge?
