What is recorded here

Mortons and others climbed the outer bank to watch the world go by, while the road later cut through the northern edge. The oval remains visible in pasture south of the road, with two banks, a waterlogged ditch and a gap on the west side. An oak still stands on the inner bank, marking the place where human hands shaped the earth and the road took its share.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope, immediately S of public road. Oval area (30m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by two roughly concentric earthen banks with intervening and external fosse. Inner bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.5m), best preserved SE->WSW, becomes scarp-like W->N. Outer bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.6m), wide and flat-topped (Wth 3m), is clipped by public road NNW->NNE. Waterlogged intervening fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.5m), infilled with earth and stones at SE, widens at W (Wth 4m). Outer fosse (Wth 1.4m; D 0.3m) is not evident NNW->NNE. Gap in outer bank (Wth 4m) at W. Space between banks widens (Wth 14.5m) along NE arc. Level interior under pasture. A mature oak tree stands atop inner bank at S. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
