What is recorded here

In lush meadow. A natural mound has been modified to form a roughly circular area (dims. 13m E-W; 12m N-S) defined by scarp (Wth1.35m; H 0.45m) WSW-ENE and by a long, gentle scarp (Wth 30m; H 2.55m) ENE-WSW. Intervening fosse (basal Wth 1.6m; overall Wth 4.55m; Dth 0.65m) and outer bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.4m; Wth at top 2m; total Wth 4.6m) WSW-ENE. Fosse is open-ended and continues beyond scarp at WSW and ENE and doubles back around base of natural mound. Fosse (basal Wth 2.55m; overall 4.25m; Dth 0.1m) is best preserved WSW-NNE. An inner scarp (Wth 1.25m; H 1.1m) is on the inside of the fosse and an outer bank (Wth at top 2m; total Wth 4.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.4m) is on the exterior. Inner scarp, fosse and outer bank are best preserved WSW-NNE and outer bank is levelled N-E. Gap (Wth 4.5m) in inner scarp at N. The area of the natural mound enclosed by the fosse and bank WSW-ESE is very steep and unlikely to have been inhabited. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 July 2014
