Monument record MDR2245 - Enclosure, Upper Cave Dale, Castleton
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A small Romano-British enclosure ("home"), backed by a limestone cliff, has been found by Mr L H Butcher on the north side of Upper Cave Dale. Possibly a hut. (1, 2)
There is nothing resembling an enclosure in this area. (3)
The only man-made feature that could be identified in 1992 was the fully tumbled and part-robbed remains of a post-medieval wall that runs up the slope. Other features north of the wall, while sometimes bank-like, all appeared to be limestone outcrops and naturally-placed earthfast boulders. (5)
