• LI053-024 Cliff-edge fort
  Description

  In pasture, on an E-facing slope, just above a steep incline down to a stream. A D-shaped area (28.5m N-S; 38.2m E-W) defined on its straight SE side by the top edge of the steep incline, and enclosed SSW->ESE by two concentric earthen banks, 3.25m apart, with an external fosse SSW->NW (D 0.65; Wth 2.6m). The inner bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.25m) is best preserved SSW->WNW but has been much denuded by cattle NNE->ENE, as similarly is the outer bank (int. H 1.45m; ext. H 0.95m). The enclosing element is masked by dense vegetation overgrowth. Breaks in the banks at NW and ENE appear to be the result of cattle accessing the interior. The interior slopes down gently to the SE and is covered by mature deciduous trees. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
