Recorded monuments
- TS077-034 Castle - ringwork and bailey
Description
On the flat summit of a ridge in gently undulating terrain, the field N and E of the monument is under tillage, that to the W is in grass. The field boundaries E and NE of the monument have been removed and appear to have been bulldozed into the fosse in the N quadrant. Enclosure (TS077-099----) is located c. 30m to E. The monument consists of a raised circular area (diam. 19.5m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.91m) and wide, deep, round-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 1.02m) with crescent-shaped bailey (diam. 28.8m NE-SW; max. 12.3m NW-SE) to E. The W half of the ringwork is densely covered with scrub. There is a hollow area S of the bailey which is heavily overgrown with nettles. On the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map the N-E-S sides of the ringwork are enclosed by a fosse, which is partially incorporated in a field bank, now destroyed. The fosse of the W side of the ringwork is enclosed by a curving field boundary. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS077-094 Enclosure
Description
On a gentle SE-facing slope in undulating pasture. This enclosure was identified on an estate map drawn in 1815 for John Bagwell by John Longfield (NLI 21.F.46), it is not marked on either the 1st (1840) or 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled but is clearly visible as a circular enclosure (diam. 53m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by scarp (H 0.91m over gradual 8m wide slope) in the SE and SW quadrants and is delimited by a field bank and hedgerow in the NE and NW. There is a slight depression at the base of the scarp in the S quadrant (Wth 3.6m) which may be the remains of an external fosse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS077-099 Enclosure
