Archaeology Notes

NS88SW 57 8464 8000 to 8490 8000

See also NS87NW 6 and NS87NW 32.00 .

NS 8464 8000 to NS 8490 8000 Published course (OS 25 inch 1961) resurveyed. Wall, Ditch and Outer Mound are fairly well defined, although the sharp alignment angle can now only be deduced from the projected extant straights. Extant dimensions vary, but on the W the Rampart averages 1.5m high and the Ditch, 12m wide and 1.2m deep.

NS 8464 8000 Rampart, Ditch and Outer Mound sectioned in 1959 (Robertson 1963-4).
