036 | "On the south & south west side of the parish there is an enclosure of great antiquity, concerning the use of which tradition gives no account. It is nearly of a square form & contains about an English Acre of ground. The walls which are of earth, as far as can be judged, have been originally of considerable height and breadth. A deep and wide ditch on the outside of the wall, filled with water from an adjoining morass is still almost entire. This Fort, now known by the name of Castledykes, was probably a place of retreat to the neighborhood in times of turbulence & barbarism." Old Statistical Account The only remains of this object in existence are as represented on the plan from a survey &c. made by Colonel Bayly R.E. [Royal Engineers] |
