giving on a trench varying in breadth from 37
ft. [feet] between crest of scarp & counterscarp on the W. [West]
to 29 ft. [feet] at the N E [North East], flat bottomed with a
breadth at floor level of some 12 ft, [feet] and at deepest
3'.6" in depth below the crest of the counterscarp;
and, with an intervening
mound, an outer concentric trench measuring
25 ft. [feet] from crest to crest, 12 ft. [feet] across its flat floor,
and at most 6 ft. [feet] in depth below the crest of
the scarp and 3 ft. [feet] 6 ins. [inches] below that of the
counterscarp. This outer trench is however
less regular in its continuance than the
inner one and where the ground has fall-n
away sharply from the base of the scarp of
the intermediate mound it has probably been
discontinued. A hedge crosses the interior
from N E [North East] to S W. [South West] and on the S E. [South East] half of the
periphery the defences have been much more
destroyed by the action of the plough than
on the other. The entrance has been from
the E. [East] 10 ft [feet] wide carried directly over the
outer defences and into the interior by a
roadway sunk as much as 5 ft [feet] below
the level on either side as it passes over
the scarp. There has been a considerable
amount of rock cutting in the formation
