Recorded monuments

• MA121-126 Mound
  Description

  In pasture, located on a rise with a fall of ground to S and W; crossed by a field/property boundary which is engulfed in hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles. The remains of a circular mound (diam. c. 8m N−S) of earth and stones, with a gently domed top and broadly sloping sides. The N−S field wall which overlies the mound appears to cross it slightly to W of centre. The E half of the mound (i.e. on the E side of the field wall) is well preserved, surviving as a compact D-shaped mound (7-8m N−S; 5m E−W to fence; H 0.7m); it is covered in long grass. The condition of the W half (to W of the field wall) is uncertain; a low rise can be glimpsed beneath dense blackthorn, and it seems that the mound may have been damaged/partly levelled on this side.

• MA121-200 Enclosure
  Description

  In NW corner of a modern rectangular pasture field, located on gently elevated ground in undulating fertile limestone terrain. Views are good not extensive to S. This enclosure, which was levelled at an unknown date in the past, is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps; it is visible in satellite aerial imagery and Lidar imagery. A circular area (38m N−S; 40.5m E−W) is barely discernible at ground level, defined on the perimeter by a low rise/undulation, representing a levelled bank. The W arc is overlain by a field wall, which preserves the curve of the enclosure. The interior is level and featureless, with a slight slope down from centre to S. There is a mound (MA121-126----) 100m to W. Attached images: MA121-200----_01.JPG Viewed from ESE MA121-200----_02.JPG Viewed from S Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 June 2022
