Description
In level wet pasture. Ringfort (TS057-009----) visible c. 120m to the ESE and another ringfort (TS057-033----) visible c. 180m to the NNW. Roughly circular slightly raised area (dims. 19m E-W; 18m N-S) enclosed by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 1.25m; H 0.65m) with an external broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 3m; overall Wth 4m; D 0.2m). From NNW-NE the scarp and fosse have been removed and the edge of the ringfort straightened off parallel to a WNW-ESE orientated field drain that lies 3.5m to the N. An irregular ramp (Wth 4m) across the scarped edge at W, with a slight irregular causeway across the fosse, appears to mark the position of the original entrance. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth with a hut site (TS057-008002-) located to N of centre. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

Description
On top of a very slight rise in gently undulating pasture. A possible field system is located 100m to the N. Originally circular (diam. c. 20m), the enclosure now consists of a roughly triangular area (dims. 10m N-S; 14m E-W) enclosed by a broad gently sloping scarp (Wth 3.4m; H 1m) from SSW-NNW. From NNW-E the scarp and a portion of the interior have been removed and the current edge of the enclosure is defined by a modern NW-SE orientated field bank. From E-SSW the scarped edge and a portion of the interior have also been removed and the current edge of the monument is defined by a modern NE-SW orientated irregular scarp. The interior undulates irregularly as if disturbed and is clear of overgrowth Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS065-058 Moated site
Description
In gently undulating pasture on level ground with a bowl-barrow (TS057-003---) 60m to the NW. Roughly rectangular area (dims. 40m ENE-WSW; 30m NNW-ESE) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 2-3m; ext. H 0.2-0.25m) with a broad flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 2m; overall Wth 4.2m-6m; D 0.2-0.25). The moated site is bowed outward slightly along the NNW side. The scarp and fosse are absent along the ESE side and the edge of the moated site is defined by a modern field boundary. Traces of a broad channel (L c. 15m; Wth at base 2m; overall Wth 4.2-6m; D 0.1m) of uncertain significance extend in a SSE direction from the WSW corner of the fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS065-069001 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
In level wet pasture on the SW side of a field system (TS057-016014-) and with a ring-barrow (TS057-016012-) c. 40m to the NNW and another (TS065-069002-) immediately to the ENE with others nearby. Identified during field survey by Mark Keegan (8/11/2004). Roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. 4m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.15m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4m) and a low external earthen bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1m; Wth at top 0.7m; overall Wth 1.9m). The scarp is eroded and the fosse and external bank are absent NW-E where the external edge of the barrow abuts an ENE-WSW orientated portion of the nearby field system (TS057-016014-) and another ring-barrow (TS065-069002-) immediately to the ENE. The interior s level clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 16 September 2014
