Recorded monuments

• CL035-160 Enclosure
  Description

  On a generally level area, in improved rough pasture. The field surface is very uneven across this area due to rock outcrop. Identified on a satellite image as a subcircular enclosure associated with a field system (CL035-160001-) (https://binged.it/2mXvaZJ, accessed 6 March 2017). A subcircular area (23m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by the remains of a sod covered wall (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 1.5m; overall Wth 4.8m) with the stones protruding from the surface in places. The interior takes the form of a gentle depression and has a lumpy surface due to presence of loose rocks and potential rock outcrop covered by sod. A number of linear field walls representing a field system (CL035-160001-) radiate from the exterior of the enclosure at NE, S, W and NW. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-160----_02.jpg From SW. General view of monument. CL035-160----_01.jpg From ESE. Cross-sectional view of bank at NNE.

• CL035-160001 Field system
  Description

  On a generally level area, in improved rough pasture. The field surface is very uneven across this area due to rock outcrop. A system of low, sod-covered walls which are radiating from an enclosure (CL035-160----) at NW, NE, S and W, as identified by satellite imagery (https://binged.it/2mXvaZJ, accessed 6 March 2017). A number of linear field walls are in the vicinity of the enclosure and appear to be contemporary. They consist of some continuous stretches of wall (i.e. those to NE) and some intermittent, more piecemeal portions with gaps (i.e. those to S and NW). A potential portion extending from the enclosure at W could not be seen clearly on the ground, although a linear feature (long axis NE-SW) can be seen to correlate to a tract of rock outcrop. The wall at NW extends (L c. 16m) in a linear alignment (long-axis c. N-S). A short portion of wall (long axis c. NNW-SSE) at S extends (L 6.5m) before turning at an obtuse angle and continuing (long axis WNW-ESE) as a scarp (L c. 60m) in an ESE direction. The wall (Wth 1.95m; H 0.3-0.4m) at NE continues (long axis NE-SW) for a short distance (L c. 8m) from the enclosure before it forks to NNW and ESE. The wall (L c. 45m) to NNW is in a piecemeal condition and that to ESE has been reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.9m; H 0.2-0.3m). The latter appears to meander (L c. 92m) to ESE before extending (L c. 18m) to NE and then meandering (L c. 85m) to NW to enclose a larger area (80m NW-SE; c. 78m NE-SW). There are numerous other undulations in this vicinity particularly to W and N of the enclosure and further to ESE, some of which may be associated with the field system, whilst others are probably natural rock formations rising close to the surface.
