Enclosure in Trevet — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Thirty-three metres of raised grass stand beside the Trevet church, bounded by one-metre scarps and a western ramp. The box shape suggests deliberate exclusion rather than accidental soil movement. A person may have entered through that ramp to keep livestock, secrets or simply quiet away from the road. The flat surrounding landscape makes the small enclosure appear as a room built by human hands and never roofed.

Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape, and just NW of the church (ME038-017----) of Trevet on the W side of a N-S public road. This is part of the field system (ME038-015----) and is just S of the E end of the hollow way. It consists of a raised rectangular and grass-covered area (dims. 33m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by scarps (H c. 1m) with slight fosses and a ramp entrance (Wth 3m) at W.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 10 July 2007 Amended: 13 April, 2022
