NY29SE 14 2871 9177.
(NY 2871 9177) Earthwork (NR)
OS 6" map (1957)
This earthwork is similar in character to NY29SE 13, which is noted as a settlement by Jobey. It measures 240' by 150' within a single flat-topped rampart and outer ditch, now very shallow, on the outer lip of which is a counterscarp bank. There are traces of stonework on the crest of the rampart, (similar to NY29SE 10). Entrance has been from the SW into a hollow way flanked for some 60' on the left by a slight bank. RCAHMS 1920, visited 1912; RCAHMS Marginal Lands Survey TS., visited 1955; G Jobey 1971
This earthwork is generally as described, although no stonework was noted on the crest of the rampart. The interior has been afforested. By comparison with NY29SE 13 and others, this earthwork is typical of the settlement class.
