| Summary : A truncated mound located 137 metres north-east of Stanborough Camp, and immediately east of the earthwork remains of an early medieval ringwork. The mound has been identified as a motte, now surviving to a height of approximately 0.3 metres, and with traces of a ditch on its north and south sides. The ditch measures between 2.5 metres and 5 metres wide and is a maximum of 0.3 metres deep to the west. The western side of the mound and ditch have been cut away by a large quarry, measuring about 20 metres across. It has been excavated to a depth of approximately 4 metres in the centre, and a spoil heap around 17 metres wide and 0.5 metres high, has been deposited at its western edge. |
