Ecclesiastical enclosure

What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope. The church of Moore (RO054-024001-) is situated towards the S edge of a large circular grass-covered enclosure (diam. 103m E-W; 96.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6-1.4m), which is best preserved NNW-NE (Wth 6.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.8m) but missing E-S. An outer fosse survives NNW-NNE (Wth of top 8.8m; Wth of base 2.3m; D 0.5m) and SSW-WNW (Wth of top 3.5m; Wth of base 1.1m; D 0.3m). The interior has a number of radial banks (Wth 4m; H 0.4-0.6m), but a D-shaped graveyard (RO054-024002-) is confined to the area N of a WNW-ESE public road which bisects the enclosure.
