Jaw Hill

Jaw Hill is a hill in the City of Leeds district of West Yorkshire, England. It is near Kirkhamgate in the City of Wakefield district.

History

A large square cropmark enclosure was investigated in 1995, when it was thought to be a possible Roman marching camp. The site had V-shaped east and west ditches, both of which had evidence for a revetted defensive bank with lines of post-holes.

The base of a greyware vessel dating from the 2nd to 4th century was found on the site. [1] 53°42′21″N1°33′26″W / 53.7057°N 1.5573°W / 53.7057; -1.5573
