King rejects a site described as a ringwork (referencing Parker 1970) at this map reference. This is the site of earthworks of a DMV, - see Old Dashwood Hill and the earthworks are called a village enclosure.

Gatehouse Comments

Did Parker call the village enclosure a 'Ringwork' (a incorrect use of the term but an error sometimes made) or did King misinterpret Parker's paper?
