  Description

  On top of a low hillock in a very undulating landscape in improved pasture with reasonable views of the surrounding landscape. Overlooked by higher ground to WNW and N. Depicted on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (20m E-W; 18m N-S) and on the 25-inch OS map as what appears to be part of a subrectangular feature. It is not depicted on the 1920 OS 6-inch map. It consists of a rectangular area (12m E-W; 8m N-S) the eastern two-thirds of which are obscured by overgrowth. It is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m; Wth at top 1.2m; overall Wth 3.5m) at W. A small portion of similar bank is evident at the N end of the E side, however the rest of this side appears to be levelled, where an obscured view is seen through the vegetation. The enclosing elements are reduced to a scarp (Wth 0.8m; H 0.2m) to N and S. The interior is generally level. There is some stone evident under the sod of the bank/scarp in places suggesting that this may have been a built structure. The E-W orientation and the straight sides may suggest a former church. The monument is surrounded by mature oak trees to W and NW and elsewhere by furze and briars. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-029----_01.jpg From N. Cross-section view of bank at W.

• CL027-045 Enclosure
  Description

  On generally lowlying land in pasture with the surface of the field gently undulating due to levelled monument, levelled field boundaries and potential rock outcrop. Good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular area (28.5m N-S; 30m E-W), having a field boundary abutting to N and SE. The monument consists of a levelled circular area (diam. 20m) defined by the remains of a scarp (Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m). The interior has a gentle N-facing slope. There are faint traces of a fosse SW-NNE, which is best preserved (Wth 3.5m; D 0.15m) at SW where it is most distinct. A possible causewayed entrance (Wth 4.5m) is located at W. The remains of a levelled field boundary extend from the exterior at SE. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-045----_01.jpg From NE. General view of monument. CL027-045----_02.jpg From SE.
