Recorded monuments

• MA103-028 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a ridge, just below the highest point. Ground falls steeply to SW giving extensive views over a broad sweep of lowlying pasture and bog. Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. A D-shaped enclosure is recorded in an aerial photograph (SMR file: GSI M 55 -6; Roll 207, pr. 24). Low D-shaped platform (46m NNW−SSE; c. 25m ENE−WSW) defined on the curving side at SSE−N by a scarp (H 0.6m; Wth slope 1.8m), which is poorly preserved on the S arc. The straight side at NE is formed by a high scarp/hedgerow bordering a road. There is a low area/break (Wth c. 2m) in the scarp at NW. A post and wire fence on a NW−SE axis cross the S end of the platform. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 November 2022

• MA103-082 Mound
  Description

  Adjacent to a farmstead, in pasture, located on a slight rise overlooking a small river c. 40m to NW Circular platform (17m N−S; 16.2m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m; Wth slope 1.4m, at N). A central rise in the platform gives it a gently domed profile, so that the centre of the platform has a height of 1.5m above surrounding exterior ground level. This rise grades seamlessly to the perimeter on the S arc, but on the N half, it slopes more abruptly towards the perimeter and then levels out so that there is a 2-3m gap between the base of the slope and the edge of the platform scarp. Ringed with thorn bushes and beech trees. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 November 2022
