What is recorded here

In a low-lying area of marshy pasture, bounded by deep drainage dykes to the S and E and by the embankment of a disused railway line to the W. A roughly circular platform (26m N-S; 27.5m E-W) defined by a gradually sloping scarped edge (H 0.9m; Wth 6.7m). The surface of the platform is very uneven but generally slopes up towards the centre. Its surface is scattered with loose stones and the make-up of the platform appears to be a dump of stones. According to the landowner the mound formerly had a boat house standing on the top. The site is been subject to flooding (Anon 1901-4, 285-6). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
