NY18SW 1 10433 84197

(NY 1043 8419) Mote (NR)

OS 6" map (1957).

Location formerly entered as NY 1043 8419.

Steeply scarped on W, 29 ft. high, diminishing to 14 ft on S and E and 6ft on N. A 6ft terrace about 6ft from the summit on S and E which descends to base level on the N, appears to be original, but below it is a modern retaining wall, and it is possible that the profile has been altered in comparatively recent times. Summit 105 ft N-S, 106 ft E-W. If there was a trench on the N side there is now no trace, nor is it possible to say if a base-court ever existed.
