Description
On the hillside north north-east of Old Ravensworth there were supposed to be earthwork remains of a rectilinear enclosure with linear features to the north, west amd south. These were presumably banks, perhaps field boundaries. The whole site has been included in the opencast site of Banesley Lane.
