• TS050-024 Embanked enclosure
  Description

  In flat, marshy terrain with good views of hills to N and W. A bowl-barrow (TS050-026----) is located 180m to the SE. A large oval enclosure (diam. 77.6m N-S; 60.5m E-W) defined by a very broad earthen bank (N quadrant: int. H 2.05m; ext. H 0.8m; Wth at crest 5.1m; overall Wth 19.5m; E quadrant: int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.6m; Wth at crest 4.6m; overall Wth 16.1m; S quadrant: int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.85m; Wth at crest 5m; overall Wth 16.3m; ) which slopes gradually down to a sunken interior. There is no evidence of a fosse. Areas of the interior are quite waterlogged, particularly in the NW quadrant where flag irises are growing. There are some subtle raised areas in the interior. There is a possible entrance in the W quadrant as the bank appears to be sloping down on the SW side. The NW side is not visible due to heavy overgrowth of scrub and brambles. At this point a sharply cut field drain (Wth c. 0.5m) runs NE-SW through the bank, possibly utilising an existing gap. There is an external raised hummocky area immediately N of the bank. Immediately to the E there is another enclosure (TS050-025----). There is a gap of 6m between the embanked enclosure and the N bank of the adjacent enclosure. The S bank of the adjacent enclosure appears to run S of the oval enclosure, though it broadens out at this point and there is a field bank surmounted by hedgerow which runs E-W along the edge of the oval enclosure and though the S bank of the adjacent enclosure. A large pond barrow (TS058-046----) is located 10km to the SW, it has a similar morphology but lacks a defined entrance. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 March 2014

• TS050-025 Enclosure

H 1.1m; Wth at crest 4m; overall Wth 13.5m) and the interior is wet and waterlogged with a lot of rushes. There is a gap of 6m between the embanked enclosure and the N bank of this enclosure and the S bank of this enclosure appears to run S of the embanked enclosure, though it broadens out at this point and there is a field bank surmounted by hedgerow which runs E-W along the edge of the embanked enclosure and though the S bank of this enclosure.
