What is recorded here

In very gently undulating terrain, in pasture. A natural ridge has been scarped to form two enclosures, the northernmost (TS075-004---) is separated from the southern enclosure (TS075-004001-) by a fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.33m). The 2nd ed. (1901-5) OS 6-inch map depicts a bank dividing the earthworks. The ridge extends E beyond the enclosures and slopes down towards the stream which runs NW-SE along the E boundary of the field. The northern enclosure has been ploughed over but is still visible as a large raised area (diam. c. 95m N-S; c. 87m E-W) defined by a gently sloping scarp (H 0.9m over 10m). In the NE quadrant there is a circular poached area (diam. c. 10m) near the edge of the scarp, with pipe protruding from the centre. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 31 March 2014
