Recorded monuments

• TS088-041 Enclosure
  Description

  On a N-facing slope, on the edge of a ridge, in rough upland pasture. This monument was identified as a possible enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on an aerial photograph (GSI S 714/713). There are no visible remains above ground, however, a curving kink in the field boundary immediately N of enclosure would suggest that it was respecting an existing monument when it was built.

• TS088-068 Souterrain
  Description

  On a fairly steep N-facing slope in roughl pasture in upland terrain. The location of the souterrain was pointed out by the occupants of Bonnard House. It was filled in c. 1967 when the hillside was cleared of trees and the land reclaimed. There are a number of hollows in the field. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS088-069 Standing stone
  Description

  On a steep N-facing slope in upland terrain, in rough pasture. A stream runs roughly N-S c. 80m to the E. There are extensive views to the N and W, but limited to the E and S. A standing stone (0.62m x 0.3m; H 0.94m), roughly rectangular in plan, orientated NE-SW. Composed of red sandstone, the SE and NW faces are flat, though the latter has fractured due to weathering. It is flat-topped (0.44m x 0.24m). There is a large slab of bedrock (1.3m x 0.3m; H 0.35m) exposed at the foot of the NW face of the stone. There are several stones around the base of the SW and NW sides, possibly packing stones. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 December 2013

• TS091-006 Enclosure
  Description

  On an E-facing slope, just below the crest in reclaimed pasture. The field boundary depicted on the 1904 revision OS 6-inch map to the W running N-S has been removed, probably when the monument was levelled. Despite being levelled, this enclosure is still visible as a circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by a broad, flat, low bank largely reduced to scarp (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.1-0.52m). There is a possible entrance in ESE where the bank is not obvious (Wth 4.5m). There is a slight suggestion of an outer fosse (Wth 2-2.5m; D 0.13m), more obvious in the N, E and W quadrants. The interior slopes to the E. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 February 2014
