H 0.4m at S to 1.3m at E) S-NNE separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 5.1-6.2m; Wth of base 2.3m at E to 4m at S and N; D 0.8m N-E to 1.6m at S) from a complete outer bank (Wth 3-4m; H 0.2m generally to 0.8m at W), which is incorporated into a field bank E-S-NNW. There is a modern entrance through the inner bank at SW, but the original entrance is not identified (max. ext. dim. 61.5m N-S). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO032-009001 Barrow - bowl-barrow
  Description

  In a slight hollow on an undulating landscape. This is a round-topped, oval, hazel-covered mound (dims of top 10.9m E-W; 10.5m N-S; dims of base 45m N-S; 33m E-W; H 3.6m at E to 4.8m at S) separated by a berm (Wth 4-5m) from a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.4-8.8m; Wth of base 2-3m; int. D 1.7-2.4m; ext. D 0.5-1m). There is a slight earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.2-0.4m) planted with whitethorn on the inner edge of the fosse, which survives S-NW and NE-SE (max. ext. dims 71m N-S; 61.3m E-W). The perimeter is quarried at SSW (diam. c. 9m), N-NE and at ENE. An oval overgrown subcircular mound (RO032-009004-) (dims of base c. 25m ENE-WSW; 19.8m NNW-SSE; H 3m) extends out from the inner bank at ENE, and may be spoil from the quarries, although it has been interpreted as a bailey, and the barrow as a motte (Knox 1911a, 307-310; Graham 1988b, 26). Field system (RO032-009002-) is immediately to the NW, and rath (R032-008001-) is c. 80m to the NE. (Doran 2005, 377) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
