What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (17 February 2009). A conjoined ditch barrow and ring-barrow (TS066-193001- and TS066-193002-) are located c. 25m to the NE. A sub-oval area (dims. 20m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW) defined by scarp (Wth 0.9m; H 0.2m) and fosse (overall Wth 2.2m; basal Wth 0.75m; D 0.13m) which is best defined SE-W-NW where it has been incorporated into shallow drainage channels. The scarp (Wth 1.1m; H 0.05m) is very gradual from NW-N-E. A linear drainage channel (long axis N-S; L 15m; Wth 1.25m; D 0.1-0.18m) transects the monument across the E sector. The interior is grass covered and has an uneven surface with a gentle S-facing slope. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 9 September 2014
