• KE010-026 Earthwork
  Description

  Listed as 'Earthwork site' in the SMR (1990) and RMP (1997). Depicted by hachures, as a subrectangular area (c. 30m N-S; 55m E-W) abutting the S side of the Galey River, on the 1939 OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 20 August 2013

  Description

  Internal diameter 34m E-W This site is situated immediately S of the Galey River, and good views are afforded in all directions. The Galey was widened and deepened a few years ago and the subsequent rubble dumped in the interior of this site, distorting the N sector completely. What remains today is a semi-circular area enclosed by an earthen bank which ranges from 1.8m-4.4m in width at the base. At its highest point it is 1.2m above the surrounding land and .8m above the interior. Very slight traces of an exterior fosse c 2m wide and .4m deep can be noted to the NE. The interior is at a slightly higher level than the surrounding land. Contained in the W sector is a semi-circular rise 4.4m x 4m internally and .5m high, with a depression at the centre 2.9m in diameter and .3m deep, which suggests the existence of a souterrain (KE010-028001-).
