CLASS H . 



In many cases the second or outer court of mount and court 

 strongholds (class E) contained the germ of village or town, but the 

 works referred to under H exhibit a more simple form of defence, 

 and are not usually attached to any castle or stronghold. 



Ancient walled areas, such as some on the moors of the north of 

 England, on Dartmoor and elsewhere, may be included in class H, 

 as the term "village " is used to imply any collection of huts or houses, 

 and some examples may have been for the protection of cattle as well 

 as of human beings. 



k In lowland districts works of class H occasionally occur, which 

 protected the manorial hold, the church, and village, by means of 

 moats or ramparts, or both.
