What is recorded here

In level wet pasture. Bowl-barrow (TS057-011----) is located 180m to the NE. Circular area (diam. 18m) defined by a low earthen scarped edge (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m) separated by a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2m; Overall Wth 3.2m; D 0.2m) from a flat-topped earthen berm (Wth at top 2m; overall Wth 5.3m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2.3m; overall Wth 3.7; D 0.15m). The fosses and the berm are best preserved ESE-SSE and are absent SW-WNW where a NW-SE orientated modern field drain abuts the external base of the scarp defining the interior at WSW. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
