SU 24400794. "Assumed site of royal hunting lodge
(14th century ?) - typical rectangular earthworks;" finds of
west-country slate and pottery. (1)

(SU 24450803) On a slight south-facing slope are the remains of
a rectangular earthwork, about 65.0 m. by 50.0 m., which may be
a hunting lodge in that it conforms with other known examples
in the New Forest in general shape, size and position.

It consists of an inner platform or level area surrounded by a
ditch. Though much of the ditch has been destroyed sufficient
remains to determine its former extent; it is most marked at
the north-west corner of the enclosure. No obvious entrance can
be located. A large quarry has been dug into the interior on
the eastern side.

Surveyed on AO. Model at 1:1000 and on published plan at 1:1000
and on published plan at 1:2500.

Illustration. (2)

Site examined during RCHME fieldwork, February 1996. Remains as depicted by OS 1:1000 survey. Much disturbed by quarrying and fallen trees. Site littered with slate fragments. In siting, plan, and form it is typical of New Forest hunting lodge sites, and strongly resembles examples at Sloden and Ashurst.(3)
