H 2.5m), best preserved where incorporated into field boundary system S->NW, lowers at ENE for c. 6m. Fosse, widest along W side (Wth 5.4m), shallows out noticeably NW->E. Interior, under pasture, rises up gently at edges to meet enclosing bank. Farm passage skirts around outer edge of fosse S->NW. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
