Recorded monuments
- KK012-044 Castle - ringwork
Description
A little below the crest of a bluff between two valleys, in tillage and grassland. There are good views in all directions. A circular raised platform (diam. c. 48m N-S; c. 51m E-W) defined by scarp (H 2.8m) and a flat-bottomed, steep-sided external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1.8m), which is largely infilled at E. The raised nature of this monument suggests it may be a ringwork rather than a ringfort. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 12 June 2019
- KK012-048 Enclosure
Description
On a gentle S-face slope, in the upper slopes of on the side of a valley, in reclaimed grassland. There are good views in all directions.

It is not depicted on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map suggesting it was levelled between 1839 and 1900. A field boundary, with farm track along the W side, runs NW-SE across the levelled enclosure. It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 12 June 2019

OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision as an unenclosed rectangular area, orientated NE-SW, with sides widening towards the SW. The enclosure is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (110) 18-19, 22 July 2000) and on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 12 June 2019) as a rectangular area (dims. 26m NNW-SSE; 22m ESE-WNW) defined by a fosse.
