Kes Tor

Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

Lubin Oct 2, 2005

The Round Pound as it is called is situated on the right hand side of the road that leads to Batworthy corner. There is a passage way that leads away from it which runs parallel with the road. On the left side of the road there is a large field system. The Round Pound was excavated in 1951/52 by Lady Fox and her team.
