LT.WELNETHAM CHURCH LANE Ruined circular structure 2 metres east of Church of St. Mary Magdalene

II

Walling, mediaeval. Ruinous flint rubble of approximately circular plan 7 metres diameter. 0.80 metres thick and a maximum of 0.80 metres high on the east side, reducing down to below present ground level on the west; its centre 3 metres south of the axis of the church. Clearly the base of a structure of equal or greater age than the present church but with no obvious functional relationship to it; possibly the remains of a Saxon tower.
