Full Description
"Red hills." <1>-<5> There are three groups of probable and certain red hill sites at New Hall Farm, one of which is located on a low `island' within Feldy Marsh. Nowhere does the island exceed 10 feet above sea level, although it is generally over 7 feet. Five red hill sites have been identified and "it may be that TL91.60 has been mislocated within Feldy Marsh and should refer to the red hills of the island."<3>
