RCAHMS Marginal Land Survey

Earthwork, Moor Dam.

The inventory description is adequate (RCAHMS 1933 No.160), but a plan of this work was made in 1952. The inner scarp stands to a maximum height of 4 ft. and the medial mound to a height of 2 - 3 ft. There are no signs of an entrance or of internal structures. In view of its situation , it is better to describe the structure as an earthwork rather than a fort, leaving the question of date open.
