Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise in pasture. Depicted as a triangular field on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Raised roughly triangular area (c. 50m NE–SW; c. 45m NW–SE) whose SW and SE sides are defined by a substantial earthen (Wth 7m on SE side, 5.4m on SW side; int. H 0.5-9m; ext. H 1.6-1.9m), with an external fosse (Wth 5-6m; ext. D 1.2m) which is clearly defined only at SE side and at S. At the outer lip of the fosse at E are traces of a possible second bank (Wth. 3.4m). The N side of the triangle has been levelled and its outline is barely discernible. A break (Wth 2.5m) in the bank, with accompanying causeway across the fosse, in the centre of SE side, represents the original entrance. The N half of the enclosure is bisected by an ENE-WSW field boundary. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
