What is recorded here

In a clearing in forestry, coniferous planting comes within 8-10m of the outer bank/counterscarp. In flat marshy terrain. A raised circular area (diam. 24m N-S) enclosed by a bank (Wth at crest 2m; overall Wth 6.2m; H above int. 0.45m; H above fosse 1.4m); broad, flat-bottomed, water-logged fosse (Wth 5.7m; D 1.05m) and broad, low outer bank (Wth at crest 4m; overall Wth 6m; H above ext. 0.15m) which appears to be reduced to scarp, though the grass and rush growth make it difficult to discern. The W half of the monument is heavily overgrown the blackthorn scrub which is encroaching on the E half of the monument. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.9m) in the E quadrant, though this may be an old cattle gap. There is no corresponding causeway over the fosse. Three forestry tranches (Wth 0.5m; D 0.4m) cut into the outer bank/scarp in the SE quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 22 March 2012
