What is recorded here

In gently undulating rough pasture at the SW side of a small complex of earthworks consisting of moated site (TS057-019002-), trackway (TS057-019003-) and another moated site (TS057-019004-). Slightly raised rectangular area (dims. 36m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) enclosed by an low flat-topped earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.1m; Wth at top 2.2m; overall Wth 5.9m) with an intermediate broad-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2.2m) and a low flat-topped external earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.3m; Wth at top 1.4m; overall Wth 4.7m). The internal bank, fosse and external bank are absent ENE-SSE along the SE side where the moated site is defined by a modern NE-SW orientated drainage ditch. From ESE-W the internal bank has been incorporated into a NW-SE orientated field bank and the external bank is absent. A break (Wth 3.5m) in the internal bank, with a slight causeway across the fosse, and a corresponding break (Wth 6m) in the external bank at toward the NW end of the NE side mark the position of the original entrance. The trackway mentioned above runs NE-SW and begins 8m to the NE of the entrance. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
