Full Description
[Linear: TQ 75746062 - TQ 75946063] Earthwork from 0 deg. 31' 20" east to 0 def 31' 32" east. (1) No correspondence before 1926 is preserved by Central Registry, Ordnance Survey Dept. (2) [TQ 75856062] Indication of earthwork, winter 1924. (3) From TQ 75876060 a terrace-way rises up the wooded slope of the hill. it is 3.0m to 4.0m in width, and has been long disused. At TQ 76136074 it crosses a hollow-way, and some 40.0m beyond enters impenetrable woods of young trees, at TQ 76176075. The Hollow-way has cut through the trackway so that its track lies some 2.0m below. This suggests the trackway to have been the earlier feature, but it could be contemporary with the hollow-way, the latter eroding into the hillside at a fast rate on account of it running straight down the hill-side. A further terrace-way rises up from TQ 75746062 along the hillside in the north-easterly direction. It descends in a south-westerly direction as far as TQ 75466036, and is a hollow-way for most of this section. No other features were noted in the area. These trackways may be of quite a late period. (4) Condition unchanged. (5)
