Description
In pasture, straddling the break of slope on the SE-facing side of a NE−SW ridge, overlooking the Brusna River, which is located c. 100m to E. Shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), marked as Grave Yd.’, and on the 1922 edition as a rectangular area (c. 14m NE−SW; c. 7m NW−SE), delimited by a dotted line, marked as ‘Children’s Burial Ground’. The outline of the burial ground can no longer be clearly traced. The SE side of the rectangular area shown on the 1922 map may be preserved in the remnants of a scarp (L c. 22m NE-SW), topped with a stony rise (Wth c. 5m), which coincides with the natural ridge slope. The stony rise appears to be the remains of a collapsed wall; stone tumble is evident on the slope. At the NE end of the scarp, a bank (Wth c. 3m; H 0.4m), perpendicular to the scarp, extends to NW for 4m then peters out. Small, upright stones protrude from the top of the scarp at S. It is possible that they are gravemarkers, but they could also be remnants of a wall topping the scarp. The area is covered with blackthorn and hawthorn, and difficult to examine. According to local information, burials continued here into the 1940’s/1950’s. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 June 2018
- MA031-036 Enclosure
Description
In lowlying, wettish pasture, located on an elevation 10m NW of Brusna River. Very good views. Not shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but shown on the 1922 edition as a hachured penannular area, open to SW. This appears to be a natural rise which has been modified to create an enclosure. It is evident as a large, roughly ovoid raised area (c. 50m N-S; c. 78m E-W), narrowest at W end, defined in a broad, shallow curve NW−NE by a substantial scarp (H 3.4m to N); to E the scarp is linear with a vertically cut on the external face, and it peters out markedly to SE. On the S side there is a broad, low slope or levelled scarp. A rim of raised interior (Wth 6-11m) survives inside the scarp NW−E, from which there is a marked drop in internal ground level, becoming a gentler slope towards the S perimeter. The narrow W end of the site is at a lower level, scarped to a terrace-like feature (11.6m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by a slightly raised internal rim. Although much of the interior is now obscured under long grass, the marked changes in level and generally uneven surface appear to be the result of past quarrying activity. A few meters to E a substantial linear bank of earth and stone flanks the Brusna River. This is relatively recent upcast from dredging the river. There is a moated site (MA031-037----) 120m to NE on the opposite bank of the river. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 June 2018
