Description
Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, on the S edge of an area of bogland, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped partially tree-planted enclosure (approx. dims. 53m E-W; 42m N-S). Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as an irregular-shaped of woodland. Levelled monument described in 1974 as no surface remains visible. The sides and top of the natural rise have been disturbed considerably by digging. The site appears to be natural and it bears no resemblance to an antiquity. Vague cropmark of levelled enclosure is barely visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.

- WM038-026 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
Situated in a circular-shaped coppice of deciduous trees, now replaced by a young coniferous plantation. Depicted as a circular shaped enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a partially levelled earthwork on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1982 as a high roughly oval-shaped platform (approx. dims. 15m N-S; 11m E-W) defined by a scarp (approx. H 2m), the deciduous trees have been planted on the upper edge of it. There is no visible trace of an external fosse which would have been considerably disturbed by the forestry drainage channels which come right up to base of the platform on all sides. This may have been a ringfort that was reused as a tree-ring in the post-1700 period. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as it is obscured by the coniferous plantation.

Description
This site is located in the industrial peatlands of Toar Bog. It was recorded in the 2013 Re-assessment Peatland Survey as a possible togher located on the field surface near the drain edge, and composed of closely packed roundwood and brushwood elements (Whitaker 2014). A single cutting was opened and excavated under licence 14E0283. A fragment of alder was chosen for AMS dating and returned a result of cal. AD 1291–1397 (UBA 26611). The site was situated in a fibrous, moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Eriophorum, Calluna and herbaceous root inclusions. The excavated cutting contained closely placed E-W orientated alder, ash, birch, hazel and willow roundwood and brushwood delineated by N-S orientated brushwood, contained within an area measuring 2.85m x 2.4m in size. The elements (L0.18-1.8m, Diam. 0.01-0.06m) were machine damaged and fractured along their lengths. Several of the elements had evidence of woodworking, in the form of chisel and wedge point ends with flat facets. Some N-S oriented brushwood were located to the west of the main structure, 0-0.15m below the surface, contained in an area measuring 2.4 x 1.1m. These were composed of regularly shaped rods (max. L2.3m, Diam. 0.03-0.06m). While they may have been related to the main structure, they appear to have had a separate function. Compiled by: Jane Whitaker/Femke Vleeshouwer Date of upload: 02/03/2020
