Recorded monuments

• TS077-083 Moated site
  Description

  In flat, low-lying, wet terrain, in rough pasture with grassy reeds. Pool immediately W and NW of moated site, with wet terrain to N and E. An enclosure (TS077-084----) is visible c. 320m to the SE. Moated site indicated as a square enclosure defined by scarp on 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map with field boundary running N-S immediately W of monument. This field boundary has been removed, as has that to the N. The field appears to have been reclaimed some years ago. The monument consists of a roughly square raised area (dims. 40.3m N-S; 42m E-W) defined by a shallow scarp (H 0.61m) with rushes growing on E side of moated site. S edge is defined by a low fosse and counterscarp which continues to rise gradually with the natural ground level. In its current state the moated site resembles a promontory with wet ground to N, E and W. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS077-084 Enclosure
  Description

  On limestone outcrop projecting out from an E-W running ridge. Stoney ground N, S and W of enclosure has been recently planted with conifers. Quarry 30-40m to S. Roughly oval area (25-inch map depicts an inner enclosure dims. c. 33m N-S; c. 50m E-W, surrounded by a berm c. 6-10m wide defined by scarp SW-N and a bank in the NE and S-SW) utilising existing limestone outcrop with a lot of loose stones on N slope. The enclosure is heavily overgrown with trees and scrub. The interior slopes steadily to S. On the N side there is a sheer drop (H 7.54m) to a berm (Wth 2.8-6m), with a further drop to ground level (H c. 6m). The enclosure is less steep on the S side which is defined by scarp, though this is heavily obscured by vegetation. There is no enclosing element in the E quadrant which runs onto the natural ridge. The field SE of the enclosure is under grass. According to Power (1907, 297) 'the "Dun" here is an artificial "fort" or lios which crowns the summit of a small limestone bluff'. It appears that the natural hill was modified when constructing this monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 5 January 2015
