What is recorded here

In pasture, on a flat terrace at the summit of a ridge, close to the break of slope at SSW. Excellent views generally, but especially SW–NW along the valley of the Trimoge River. Trees and high fences restrict views now to NW along the spine of the ridge. A circular enclosure, with a small circular feature in the centre of the interior, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. Domed circular mound (16.8m NNE–SSW; 17.2m WNW–ESE; H 2.1m at SSW 1.5m NNE), with a narrow, flattened top (diam. c. 5m) and broadly sloping sides. The mound appears to be earthen. A gap of 4-6m separates the mound from the edge of the terrace at SSE–SW, where there is a sharp break of slope and a steep fall of ground (H 3-4m). This siting makes the mound prominently visible from the S. The mound is boxed into a small modern rectilinear field. A grassed-over sunken track extends along the NW side of the field, leading to a disused sandpit in the extreme SW corner of the field (c. 10m W of the mound). A telegraph pole stands immediately to E of the mound. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 19 August 2021
