Abstract: Current fieldwork at Hen Gastell has clarified details of the site, but there are other questions that remain unanswered. The excavation demonstrated that the ditch is a genuine cut feature, not a palaeochannel or other natural feature, and is more substantial than it appears on the surface. The lack of Roman pottery at the site suggests either a late prehistoric or possibly an Early Medieval data. Radiocarbon dates will be obtained from charred plant remains from the inner bank and buried soil beneath it. Further excavation will take place in July 2014 as part of a community excavation.
