• TS058-056 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating improved pasture. Shown as a hachured roughly circular area on the 1906 edition of the OS 6-inch map but now consists of a roughly ovoid slightly raised area (dims. c. 14m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by a low flat-topped earthen bank (overall Wth 4m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (overall Wth 5m; D 0.2m). The bank and fosse enclose the ringfort SW-NW only. The bank is absent NE-SE and the edge of the platform is defined by an earthen scarp (H 0.4m). The bank has been removed and the edge of the monument straightened off NW-NE and SE-SW. A farmyard extends to the edge of the ringfort at S. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and densely overgrown with thorn bushes across the N half.

• TS058-058001 Moated site
  Description

  On top of a slight flat-topped rise in gently undulating pasture with an annexe (TS058-058002-) located immediately to the E. Roughly rectangular raised area (dims. 45m N-S; 28m E-W) with rounded corners defined by an internal broad earthen bank (overall Wth 6.5m; Wth at top 1.8m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.3m). At the external base of the bank is a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 4m; D 0.3m) and a low broad external earthen bank (overall Wth 6.5m; Wth at top 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.15m). The internal bank is best preserved SW-NE. From NE-SE the internal bank is very degraded and has been removed SE-SW where an E-W orientated field bank lies along the line of the removed bank. From SE-SW the fosse has been almost completely infilled but the outer edge is barely discernible at ground level. The external bank is not visible at ground level N-NE and SE-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. There is a modern break (Wth 2m) in the internal bank with a ramp into the fosse at the NE corner. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.

• TS058-058002 Enclosure
  Description

  On a very slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture with a moated site (TS058-058001-) located immediately to the W.

• TS066-203 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  In pasture. A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 14m) identified on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 16 December 2016) by Jean-Charles Caillère. It appears to have an internal fosse and outer bank. The size and morphology of the enclosure suggest it is a ring-barrow.

• TS066-225 Barrow - ditch barrow
  Description

  In pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 8m) defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery date 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The size of the enclosure and the presence of other barrows in the surrounding area, including a ring-barrow (TS066-203----) c. 350m to the SSW, would suggest that this is a barrow.
