Fell, the results of which are publicshed in the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 1953 (no. 19, pp. 1-36) in an article called 'The Early Iron Age site at Micklemoor Hill, West Harling'. The site was an early Iron Age settlement made up of a circular band and shallow ditch with two causeways. The round house in the centre of the settlement and thought typical of the period.
