More information : (ST 98500065) Earthwork (NR). (1)
ENCLOSURE 98500065, in Abbot Street Copse, lies on a spur of the Reading Beds about 125 ft. above O.D. It is roughly oval in plan, 100 ft. across from E. to W. and 75 ft. from N.to S. It is bounded by a low bank up to 15 ft. across and rarely more than 2 ft. high, with a ditch 12 ft. across and 2 ft. deep outside it. There is no obvious entrance and the interior is featureless. The enclosure lies in the fork between two hollow-ways, probably later than itself. (See ST 90 SE 14). (2)
Scrub clearance in Abbot Street Copse has led to the discovery of an earthwork which could be the remains of a motte-and-bailey. [This is apparently the same earthwork as that descirbed by, auth. 1). (3) |
