NY29SE 13 2855 9196
(NY 2855 9196) Earthwork (NR)
OS 6" map (1957)
This settlement (G Jobey 1971) measures 160' by 167' within a single rampart, 9' high on the upper (W) side, and a 40' wide external ditch, 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). The 10' wide entrance, in SE, opens on to the lowest level of the interior, with higher ground encircling it. The interior is very uneven. (Though Jobey's RCAHMS reference No. 635, indicates NY29SE 14, his plan is obviously of this site).
RCAHMS 1920, visited 1912; RCAHMS Marginal Lands Survey TS., visited 1955
This settlement is generally as described and planned. No stonework was located on the crest of the rampart. Only one positive house platform was located, those on the lower level being quarry damps.
