Description
Situated on a fairly steep N-facing slope in pasture with good views to N and W. Depicted as a square field on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and indicated as a small oval copse of trees on the 1920 edition. A suboval enclosure (diam. 28.5m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a narrow sharp earth and stone bank (Wth 1.08-1.35m; int. H 0.25-0.4m; ext. H 0.67-1.1m) and a fosse, narrow along a fairly straight W side (Wth 1.58m; D 0.63m) and broader and shallower at E (Wth 2.4m; D 0.12m below external ground level). The bank is only barely evident from SE to SSE and there are two small gaps, one at N and the other at NW but no definite entrance feature. The fosse peters out from NNW to N where a N-S field boundary abuts the site. It is also absent from SE to S near where another field boundary abuts. The fosse has been filled with fallen branches all around obscuring it to a large extent. It may have been deepened along the straight side for drainage purposes. Trees grow all around the bank and throughout the site. The interior slopes significantly to N and a fallen tree lies across the S portion. An internal feature comprises a stony bank or tumbled wall (Wth 0.8m) curving from N to SE mirroring the curve of the bank. At N the wall extends W ending at a small stone lined annexe (5m N-S; 4.4m E-W). There are several 19th century features in the area including named groves, plantations, gardens and badger burrows and this enclosure appears to be part of that landscape.
