GGAT 63 Romano-British SE Wales Settlement Survey (2001)

A possible much-eroded earthwork enclosure was noted on an AP immediately east of Pound Lane, Coedkernew. The cropmark is situated on a knoll, possibly utilised as a semi-defensive siting for a small earthwork enclosure. A field visit in 2006 concluded that nothing was to be seen from this site except a slight rise, which may be natural, as this area in general is undulating. The area commands good views out over the Estuary and the Gwent Levels. It cannot be stated for certain either way regarding the defensive nature of this site, although from the black and white aerial photo of the site it does suggest some possible buried earthworks.
