Hi Mr Regal!
Thanks for your reply. The owner told me that 90% of the finds were Roman coins. As regards the proximity of the river, it is “extremely” tidal. By which, I mean that 90 minutes either side of high tide makes it un-navigable and the exposed silt is basically quicksand…… I know this from experience!!! Could it be a Romano-Briton structure built on an earlier enclosure? The enormity of the wall makes me doubtful of it being an animal enclosure. It is 6′ thick and of a good quality construction….. better condition than Hadrians Wall! :confused:
Although it is built on high ground, there are areas within a 1/2 mile radius that are higher, which makes me doubt a military site. A mile and a half to the NW is what appears to be more earthworks that seem to be ploughed out.
Here…..

Any relationship? Hmmm??????!!
