NMRS Notes:

NM 755 620 centre. This group of platforms was surveyed in March 1990, 49 platforms were found in an area of approximately 108 acres. It was noted that two periods of construction may be represented - smaller stone-built platforms were found in one area whereas larger earth-banked ones were concentrated in another.
Two of the stone-fronted platforms were damaged by 18th-19th century occupation of the area - one was crossed by a stone-revetted 2m track forming a hollow way over it - the surface of another was crossed by agricultural rig and furrow.
