NT 0028 7734 to NT 0035 7727 On the E side of the lower path approaching the NE angle of the Palace, fallen leaves in November-December 2005 indicated six long, shallow, parallel hollows, running in a general NW to SE direction, that of the path and the edge of the scarp. These features extended for around 120 x 21m, on a slope gently descending to the NE. At the N end was a shallow bank 3m wide x 19m long, angled almost SW to NE. The hollows were between 0.9m and 1.2m wide and between 7m and 2m apart, stopping short of the shallow bank. About 60m SE of the shallow bank, a circular feature, possibly a tree-hole, cut the fifth hollow from the path. W of the path, between it and the scarp, there is a terrace, around 10m wide, with suggestions of similar hollows cut into it.
