Jaw Hill

Jaw Hill is a hill in the City of Leeds district of West Yorkshire, England [1]. It is near Kirkhamgate in the City of Wakefield district [1]. A large square cropmark enclosure was investigated in 1995, when it was thought to be a possible Roman marching camp [1]. The site had V-shaped east and west ditches, both of which had evidence for a revetted defensive bank with lines of post-holes [1]. The base of a greyware vessel dating from the 2nd to 4th century was found on the site [1].
