• TS066-079 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, in SW area of field. Pond choked with rushes to NW and rushes to ESE. Large oval area (dims. 74m NE-SW; 66m NW-SE) defined by gentle scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 0.55m at SE) (Wth 3m; H 0.25m at NE) W-N-E-S which is irregular in plan giving the general oval shape a rougher edge. Scarp not readily visible S-SSW and instead this area of the perimeter is undulating with natural hollows. Drain (long-axis NNW-SSE) cuts monument across SW-sector; again scarp not visible here. Interior slopes downwards to NE from a plateau area in the SW-sector. Remnants of lazy beds (long-axis NW-SE) all across monument. These have disturbed a previously unrecorded barrow (TS066-079001-) off-centre to N of the interior. This area was probably always a gently rising slope and the scarp created as a result of fluvial activity around the low-lying land NNW-SE. Drainage works have removed the water further accentuating this dry area. Drains at base of scarp also further accentuate its height. There is another ring-barrow (TS066-079002-) just within the N sector of the enclosure and there may be others which cannot be recognised due to the ground disturbance. Visible on aerial photograph (ref. OS 2437/6) as large oval area. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS066-079001 Barrow - ditch barrow

A circular area (dims. 5.8m N-S; 5.4m E-W) defined by the remains of a fosse (Wth 3.0m; D 0.2m) disturbed by two wide lazy beds, running NW-SE, which truncate the monument and give it a sunken appearance. The interior is c. 0.1m lower than the exterior and is disturbed by the lazy beds. It is visible on an aerial photograph (ref. OS 2437/6) as a roughly circular anomaly.

• TS066-173 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope, c. 3m to S of ring-barrow (TS066-101001-). Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (25 November 2008).

• TS066-176002 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a gentle SSE-facing slope due S of a large pond and due SW of a rectangular shelter belt. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (28 November 2008). A circular area (dims. 6m N-S; 5.25m E-W) defined by a very shallow, indistinct fosse (Wth 2.0m; D 0.05m), which is shared with an adjoining ditch barrow (TS066-176001-) to the SSW.

• TS066-177 Enclosure
  Description

  In improved pasture, on a SE-facing slope. Identified during field survey by Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly (28 November 2008). A sub-oval area (dims. 24m NNE-SSW; 20m ESE-WNW) defined by the remains of a levelled bank (Wth 3.45m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.05m) SSW-W-NNE with the slight trace of a fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.15m) all around. The bank is truncated by a field fence running NNE-SSW across the ESE sector. A small portion of the bank in the SW quadrant tapers off on the other side of the field fence. The interior slopes to ESE with the prevalent slope. There is a trough in the SE quadrant at the field fence and a large area of concrete to the ESE holding it in place. Consequently an area on both sides of the field fence is deeply poached by cattle.
