What is recorded here

Described as a 'Moat' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a 'Tumulus' on the 1940 ed. Situated on a scarp immediately overlooking the N-S combined Clonough and Inch Rivers, with the stream immediately to the W. A record made in 1940 includes a fosse (Wth of top c. 7m at W to c. 10m at E; int. D 3-3.5m; ext. D 1.5m) that merges into a berm (Wth c. 10m) S-W, with an outer bank (Wth of base c. 9m; ext. H 3m) SW-NW (OSFM). In 1987 it is a large grass-covered earthen mound (diam. of top 16.5m; diam. of base c. 32m; H c. 3m generally to 5m at W) with some scrub. There is no visible fosse, kerb or outer bank, but it could be a motte.
